J. Brendan O'Reilly

Sincere condolences to Brendan and Jin’s family. I hadn’t heard of Brendan’s death until I was thinking of them both on Jin’s anniversary. A wonderful couple who were a joy to meet with. May they rest in pace.

So fitting that the wonderful celebration of Brendan's Life in Mount Jerome last Saturday concluded with Elvis singing "You were always on my mind". It captured Brendan perfectly as he always had peoples wellbeing on his mind. Added to the brilliant photo on the altar of Jin and Brendan resplendent in his Elvis costume it was a lovely service and everyone spoke so well. Will be a tough Christmas for all of you without Jin and Brendan , however, we hope you can take some comfort that they didn't stay apart for too long.

We only just heard about Brendan’s death and are so sad
Sincere condolences and sympathy to all of the family
Your Mum and Dad were a special couple and will both be sadly missed by all of our family

Deepest Condolences to Jay, Karen, Holly, Ethan, Juliet and all of the O'Reilly family. Brendan will be missed so much. I had the genuine pleasure of knowing and spending time in Brendan's company over the last decade or so. He was always interested in my life and career, offered great advice and was a fountain of knowledge. A natural born coach and mentor. While I am deeply saddened that this world has lost someone so fantastic as Brendan, I know him and Jin are together again smiling down and proudly watching over their wonderful children and grandchildren.

I was deeply upset when I heard of Brendan's passing early this week. I am also grateful for his presence in my life over the last 25 years in both a business capacity and personal friendship. He was a mentor, an advisor, a storyteller, great company whether one to one or in a group, he was a proud father and a loving husband. I will miss him greatly and both Lisa and I extend our heartfelt sympathies to Jane, Daran, Jay, Evan and the extended family. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

Brendan and myself had lots of fun running a business together (and Gin was never far away). I know also that Brendan launched many a career but he actively steered mine. I learnt so much from this giant of a man. I know that Brendan will be sadly missed by everyone he came in contact with and Clare and Myself wish our heartfelt condolences to his family of which both himself and Gin were so proud of.

So sorry to hear of Brendan's passing. Sincere Condolences to all the family. A great advocate for marketing initiatives.May he rest in peace.

We first met Brendan & Jin when our son Fionan was attending St. Mary's College at the same time as Jay and Evan, and we subsequently linked up with them as fellow members of Tara Glen. Brendan fought a long brave battle with his illness for many years, and we know how devastated he was after the recent passing of his beloved Jin. Our sympathies to all the family on the loss of a true gentleman. May Brrndan rest in peace.

A Mototsport enthusiast and a fantastic business man. His generous encouragement of others stands out and as a beneficiary I say Thank you RIP

Everyone in Move4Parkinson’s is so sad to hear of Brendan’s passing, he was such a lovely gentleman and both himself and Jin were such a welcomed addition to the Move4Parkinson’s Voices of Hope Choir.

So sorry to read of Brendan's passing.
My condolences to all of Brendan' s family and friends.
I first met Brendan many years ago after he had returned from abroad and later in the MII. Over the years, our paths crossed many times and always Brendan was supportive and a great zest for life - atrue gentleman and will be sorely missed. Rest in peace Brendan

Deepest sympathy to Jane, Daran, Jay and Evan and to Brendan & Jin's beloved grandchildren on the passing of a man who was a true friend and a benevolent presence in the lives of so many.
Brendan was possessed of warmth and legendary charm. He had a huge interest in people and he opened doors for countless individuals as he guided and encouraged them in their careers. He was the best of company with his marvellous positivity and perpetual good humour and utter devotion to the cause of the Irish national rugby team.

Brendan was a man of generous spirit and natural leadership who believed in 'giving back' through his Chairmanship of the Marketing Institute and his role as a much valued independent director of the Bolton Trust Enterprise charity. To many he was rightly synonymous with the progress of the marketing profession in Ireland.

But we never think of J. Brendan in the singular because he and Jin were such a wonderful partnership in life and in business. They shared that positive entrepreneurial spirit that saw them succeed in very challenging times.
Their's was a life of venture and adventure and they were an unbeatable team.
To say goodbye to two such devoted parents in so short a time is a
grievous loss for you all .
But you can be deeply proud of who they were and what they achieved just as they were immensely proud of you.

Very sad to hear that Brendan passed away. He fought a long battle with tremendous courage and dignity. I first met Brendan via his company Sales Placement and then later had the pleasure to link up with Brendan and Jin in Tara Glen. Brendan was a character, utterly professional and great company, as was Jin. We will miss them greatly. Barry & Carmel Murphy

Our sincere condolences to the family.he was a good friend to us in Tara Glen and CY Terenure.

Heartfelt condolences to Evan Regina Fionn and all the o Reilly family on the loss of such a lovely man and your dad Brendan. thinking of you all at this very sad time. May he be reunited with his lovely Jin so they can watch over you All xxx

I am very sorry to hear of the passing of Brendan he was a huge support to me when I started my career 30 years ago. I was lucky to have worked with him and Jin. May he rest in peace. .

Our heartfelt condolences to you Jane and all your family on the passing of your wonderful Dad.May he rest in peace with his beautiful Jin and may their light and love shine down on you all now and forever more.

So sorry to hear that Brendan has died. He was a great support and did valuable work for startups with the Bolton Trust. I always admired his positivity and spirit especially in the last few years. I will miss his tweets which were varied and spirited.

One word sums up this man,'Legend'
I had the privilege of being his friend,a mentor to me and our chairman over the many years I knew him.
We shared many great memories (and parties!) together and with Jin also!
I was both very sad and happy in a strange way when I heard the news.

So sorry to hear of Brendan's passing. We met in the 1970s when he generously sponsored my racing career- and later, others most notably Vivion Daly. We became great friends with Brendan and Jin, especially sharing lots of fun in Beaulieu sur mer in more recent times.

Deepest sympathy to the family on your sad loss

I’m so sorry to hear of the loss of J.Brendan.
He was a great man and my condolences to all his family.
He’s a Dad to be very proud of.

Our deepest condolences to Jane, Daran, Jay and Evan on the passing of Brendan, re-united with his beloved Jin for eternity.
Our friendship started 50 years ago in the Marketing Institute, bonds strenghtened with cruises on the Shannon and great fun events. We will always think of Brendan in the white satin Elvis outfit at his 50th birthday party. Brendan organised regular zoom get-togethers when the pandemic halted our monthly lunches for the 'boys'. A great guy who will be sadly missed.
Brendan, Jin and the family are in our thoughts and prayers.

We were so sad to learn of Brendan’s passing. Our sincere condolences to his Family. A friend for many years, Brendan and Jin were always a joy to meet. They are together again. May he rest in peace.

Deepest sympathies to all the family on the sad passing of Brendan, a wonderful neighbour in Tara Glen for many years.

For many years, Brendan generously gave his time and expertise to help entrepreneurship students at Dublin Institute of Technology (now TU Dublin). His guidance helped a generation of young people thinking of starting a business. My sincerest condolences to O'Reilly on his passing.

You were a very lucky family to have had such great parents, I have met some of you on an odd occasion but knew you all through the pride your parents had for you all. J Brendan was a gentleman, he showed interest and kindness to me since the day we meet and I often think of both your parents with fondness. Be gentle with yourselves at this difficult time.
