John Keating

My Deepest Sympathy to Miriam, Ruth, Rebecca and extended Family on the sudden death of John. It was a shock
to find out John had died while at WCSI Exhibition as I was talking to John just 2 months ago and he was in good
form. He was a dedicated gifted artist and a true gentleman. John has established himself as one of our great
artists. May you Rest in Peace.

My deepest condolances to the family. I have fond memories of John visiting and talking over dinner with my husband Michael,and I, when John worked in Boherbue, Co. Cork.

My sincere condolences to John’s wife and daughters on the death of your beloved husband and father. John and I attended the same painting class in Clonmel and later attended the Crawford School of Art in Cork. It was many a Friday evening he got his lift back to Clonmel, courtesy of my brother Pat. May he rest in peace.

To Miriam, Ruth and Rebecca. We were so sorry to hear about John's sudden passing. Keeping you in our thoughts.

Sympathies to Miriam ,Ruth and Rebecca on the death of John. He exuded love for you. His paintings retain his artistic presence. He rests in peace.

Just read the news today.
We are so sorry to hear of John’s passing. We have many fond memories of him. He was such a gentle soul full of decency, insight and great company. His excellence as an artist was the bonus.

Sincere thoughts and prayers go to Miriam and to John's daughters having to endure such a dreadful loss. John was a kind and gentle soul and full of decency. I am so sorry.

My sincere sympathies to dear Miriam, Ruth, Rebecca & the extended Keating family. Working with John was an absolute pleasure. He was kind, generous and great fun. He loved talking about his gorgeous girls, beautiful wife Miriam and his passion for Ireland & Italy. I was honoured to exhibit many of his incredible paintings. One of Johns early pieces of work in our collection, dates back to when he was 17 years old!
He will be missed, but his legacy will live on through his work and family. Take care of yourselves. Rest in Peace John xxx

May he rest in peace.

“ Some people come into our lives and quickly go,
Some people move our souls to dance,
Some People make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon,
They stay in our lives for a while,
leave footprints on our hearts,
and we are never, ever the same again. “
One almost never saw Miriam without her beloved John, by her side, total peas in a pod. Then, their treasured daughters, Ruth & Rebecca. Several of our Super Value Staff, were truly upset to hear Your News….John was loved and had time for Everyone. May his spirit soar endlessly and comfort each one of you…

Sincere condolences to Miriam & girls. We were honoured to have known John and have him on our Art site “Artvitae.com” in its day. A true gentleman & a brilliant artist. His art will live on.

So sorry to hear of John’s untimely passing. He was a great artist and a gentleman and always spoke of his family with love and pride. 🙏

Sad news, indeed, to hear of John's sudden death. I always admired his renaissance skills, his painterly legacy will continue to give great joy for many years to come.

Miriam we are so shocked and saddened to belatedly learn of Johns sudden passing. He was an absolute gentleman. A warm family man who was so proud of his girls. I was privileged to be in his art classes in Ranelagh and learnt so much from him. He brought a great energy and passion to his teaching. Always encouraging. His legacy will live on as one of our greatest artists.
Sending all love and condolences to you Miriam Ruth Rebecca and family at this painful time.
May John rest in peace

Shocked and saddened to learn of the death of John. We attended Crawford Art College and Loughborough College together in the early 1970s and were good friends. Over the years we lost touch but I often thought of John and those great days, especially those Thin Lizzy concerts in Clonmel. Condolences to Miriam,Rebecca and Ruth and to John's sisters Monica, Anne and Mary

Sincere condolences to ^Mr Keating's" wife and daughters. I had the pleasure of being a student of John's. A wonderful teatcher, good fun and on the odd occasion I met him long after school days had passed he was always happy to have a chat and to reminIsce. RIP

Sincere sympathy to Ann and all the Keating family and the extended families on the unexpected passing of John.May he rest in peace.

Dear Miriam,
We were shocked to belatedly learn of John's sudden passing. Our deepest sympathies to you and to Ruth and Rebecca and to your extended family. It is hard to imagine Dalkey without the life force that was John. We were great fans of the artist, but also of the man. His legacy is secure, not just in an incredible body of work, but in the family you both raised. He was so proud of your girls. Our own fond recollections are of our encounters during power walks during the pandemic when we would greet each other with a laugh and a socially-distanced shout across the street.

John was a one-off, and we shall not see his like again. I like to imagine that his pencils are sharpened for some glorious celestial work.

We send you our love in this difficult time.

Dear Miriam, I am so sorry to read of John's death. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your girls. Much love, Elaine.

Deepest sympathy to Anne, Pat and families on the passing of John, RIP

We are fortunate to have a number of artworks by him in the collection. May he rest in peace.

Ciao John

Sending heartfelt love and support to Miriam, Rebecca, and Ruth during this incredibly challenging time. I had the privilege of sharing in John's company during all the celebratory moments surrounding Matthew and Rebecca's wedding, a true highlight of my year. John's presence was a radiant thread woven into those occasions, exuding kindness and good humor. His profound love for his family shone brightly, and his companionship was an absolute delight.

I am well aware that his absence will leave a void felt by many. Grateful for the opportunity to have experienced the joy of Matthew and Rebecca's wedding in his company, I extend my deepest condolences. May he find eternal rest in peace.

With heartfelt sympathy,

Mary and I are deeply saddened to hear of John’s passing. I got to know John when he was a dental patient of mine and feel privileged that we then became friends. We will cherish the happy memories of visits to Miriam and John in Dalkey and a beautiful watercolour by John in our home will continue to remind us of him always. Our thoughts are with you, Miriam and the girls. Rest in peace John.
