Paddy Macaulay

Deepest condolences to Patricia and the whole family, Paddy was unique,he could be funny, sometimes,serious and incredibly wise, wishing him well for the next part of his journey, to Paddy, until we all meet again x

To the Macaulay family.
Very sad to here of the sudden passing of Paddy. I have great childhood memories of paddy and Henry working at the Monahan’s Coalyard Kilmacud back in the day. Classic memories.
May you rest in peace Paddy MaCaulay 🕯️🕯️🕯️

I only heard of Paddys passing today and was very sad to hear. Paddy was a very decent business man and father. I found him to be always fair and would always give younger entrepreneurs a chance. Thinking of all the family.

Both my wife and I had the privilege of knowing Paddy — my wife through her previous job, where she'd often say, "I was chatting with Paddy today — the conspiracy theories were great; he’s just crazy!"

Then Paddy entered my life through the Ashford CFR, and wow — what an impact that man made. He could fill a room the moment he walked in, with his big, friendly personality and his endless stories that kept us laughing, even during the hardest times.

People were naturally drawn to him, eager to share their stories. He bonded with the team effortlessly and quickly became one of its key members.

It was truly an honour and a privilege to have known Paddy — not only as part of the CFR team, but also as a friend.

Your space will be held for you, never filled. You will be deeply missed and forever honoured. Your legacy will live on in all of us who had the pleasure of knowing you.

I had the pleasure of meeting Paddy on many occasions through work. I was always sure to book out a good hour if calling in as we chatted about all the world’s problems.
A great character and business man.
RIP Paddy

Paddy, what can I say? An absolute legend, a gentleman, and one of the most interesting and hilarious people I have ever known. Paddy, you're up there lighting the skies above on the next part of the big cosmic adventure. I wish you the best, my friend, and look forward to seeing you again someday on the other side of the veil. Until then, you will always be in my thoughts and prayers. To your family, your children & loved ones, my deepest condolences.

Love Helena, Dúalta, and Iosa x

Condolences to all the Macaulays. Paddy was a huge personality, a true entrepreneur yet put his family as his number one priority. Heartbroken that he is gone but hoping he's reunited with that blue Capri.

My wife Ann always spoke of Paddy's regular visits to the Lifeboat Shop in Wicklow and how he would automatically make very generous donations to the R.N.L.I.she always said he was an extremely nice man. R.I.P. Paddy!

Patricia and family, so sorry to hear of your loss. Thoughts and prayers with you. Carole Connolly & Family, Goatstown, Naas

Patricia and all the family. It was a massive shock to hear of Paddy passing away. He had such a huge personality, was so thoughtful and had such a kind and generous Soul. When someone like Paddy passes away, it hits a lot of people very hard. He touched so many people during his life and has left us all with such wonderful memories. When our children were younger and they would hear the rev of Paddy's Motorbike pulling up outside the house, they would all jump out of bed and come down hoping that we would not send them to bed, but we couldn't deprive them of such a fantastic character and story teller. He would have the whole house laughing and when he left, you would feel like a huge ball of energy had just visited you and no mater what your mood was before he arrived, he always left you feeling good. I know you will all miss him so much. You are an amazing family and it is so nice that you are all so very close and that you will be there for each other during this very difficult time. He has left each of you with wonderful memories of your time together, remember this when you are feeling sad. We are thinking of you all and will never forget your Wonderful Husband, Father, Grandfather and our Friend.... Paddy.

My sincere and deepest condolences to Paddy's family, friends and colleagues. A true gentleman.

My deepest condolences to Adam and all the family on the loss of Paddy. I'm keeping you all in my thoughts at this sad time, Ar Dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis.

Sincere condolences to family and employees of Paddy. Met Paddy a few years ago and he left a lasting impression. A true entrepreneur with great energy for business and new business ideas, but behind it all a true appreciation for the important things in life - family, friends and community. May he rest in peace

So sad and shocked to know that Paddy has left us all. I will always be grateful for the help he gave me when I set up Dutchess Foods.

Paddy has been a massive person in my life for the past four years. He’s been my mentor, cheerleader, consistent support and most importantly, my friend.

Paddy used to ask me all the time how I describe him to other people. Every time I would say “you’re crazy in the best of ways, and the kindest, most generous man I know”. Now he’ll always know how I’ll forever describe him.

I feel so blessed to have had the privilege of seeing Paddy every day, and working so closely along side him. I will never forget the day Paddy took myself and Ciara down to the river at Hunters Hotel. The three of us stood there for the guts of an hour talking about life and sharing stories with one another. I really can’t thank Paddy enough for the energy he brought to my life and the incredible, fun memories I have with him. It will never ever be the same without you. I’ll miss you so so so much. See you in the next life ❤️

We had the pleasure of meeting him only recently, and were immediately struck by what a genuinely kind and lovely person he was.
We are deeply sorry to hear this sad news and are keeping you all in our thoughts during this difficult time.

Condolences to the Macaulay family on the passing of the wonderful Paddy. A loyal client and someone we enjoyed working with for almost two decades.
May he rest in peace.

So shocked to hear of Paddy’s passing. I didn’t know him well personally but I know he was a huge part of the community of Ashford. I just remember nearly always seeing him around, he was always having the chats. My condolences to all Paddy’s family and friends of which there were many. To read all the beautiful messages written here is testament to the indelible impression he has made on those who were fortunate to know him. May he rest in Peace 🌻

Genuine sadness to hear of Paddys passing. Anyone that ever met him would leave with a smile on their face and probably still laughing at his anecdotes. His wonderful personality will be missed.

Sincere condolences to all the family.

Dear Patricia and family, my sincere condolences to all of you. You’re in our thoughts at this sad time xx

Sincere condolences to Patricia Adam and all the family. So sad to hear of Paddy’s passing. We will miss the stories and great fun we had when Paddy called.

Shocked and saddened to hear of Paddy’s passing, we had great chats about motorbikes over the years. R.I.P. Paddy

So sorry to hear about the death of Paddy- I remembered such happy times and laughter in Redesdale estate with Paddy and Henry and at Killiskey with their extended families

Sending love and deepest condolences to all of Paddys family. Paddy will never be forgotten. He left laughter and lasting impressions of the best kind wherever he mingled. He was so kind to me when I was looking for short term rental accommodation a few years ago. I will miss his uplifting and knowledgeable presence. Always a pleasure to run into him in Wicklow. May he rest in peace 💕🙏

Rest in peace Paddy.

Paddy was a man I felt I’d known my whole life when we met. Such was his warmth, generosity, frankness and wisdom, a bigger heart you’d never meet.
Paddy I shall miss the chats. To Paddy’s family I send my deepest love.

Sincere condolences to Paddy’s wife Patricia and his children on your loss of an extraordinary kind and generous man. In the halcyon days of the Ashford Dog Shows and Barn Dances Paddy was always there to help and support and add his contributions to our causes. He will be sorely missed. May He Rest In Eternal Peace.

To Patricia and all the family, you have my heartfelt condolences on Paddys passing.

To say Paddy was a unique individual just wasnt special enough. He truley was the most amazing person i have ever met. His way of looking at the world with total empathy has made such a great impact on us all in Ashford CFR, it will be carried forward for many years to come in his memory.

His gift was people. He had this magic about him, that allowed him to reach people and they would have no choice but to like him and tell him their story. He didnt understand why someone would not help another if you had the capabilities to do so.

His many amazing tales from his adventures over the years had us in constant laughter and disbelief at the imagination of this amazing man.

It was our honour and privilege to know you.

Your spot will always be there for you, forever honoured.

Rest in peace our dear friend.

My deepest condolences to all paddy’s family. Our little village has lost a true friend, he will be deeply missed.

My sincere condolences to the family and friends of Paddy.
