Patrick (Paddy) O'Byrne

Paddy contacted me last June 2024 , he's was a very good friend to brother Peter Doyle who died suddenly , in May of 2023 , paddy went out of his way to make contact with me after all his searching for Peter's family he eventually left his phone number with the undertaker who rang me .

I'll got in touch with paddy and he was telling stories of Peter and himself on there adventures at the beach and up in the mountains, enjoying the walk together , peter was great friend and support to him .

Which was lovely to heard as my own brother (Peter ) had suffered with his own mental health over years and had fallen out with his family .

I'll hope this message will bring smile to u all at this sad time , my deepest condolences to paddy daughter and sister and his dad .

I'll know paddy and Peter are having good old catch up together.

Sent u all love and light

My heart goes out to you. Wishing you strength today and peace in all the days ahead.

Sincere condolences to Paddy’s family and friends.

Paddy was one of the smartest, warmest, and most generous people I’ve ever met. I grew up with him, went to school with him, and had countless adventures with him.

Paddy was a great storyteller. He could turn an ordinary event into an epic tale that would leave us in tears of laughter. He was less accomplished at straight-up jokes - he’d often remember the punchline halfway through and collapse laughing before he could finish.


Paddy suffered more blows in his life than anyone should have to bear, but through it all, he never lost his sense of humour or warmth.

He was always out and about, meeting people and observing the world. He would notice things that most of us would miss. He was deeply interested and interesting.

He had an encyclopedic knowledge of Irish flora and fauna, and he loved nothing more than being out in nature.

He was our leader on many long hikes in the mountains. He was tasked with navigation, but whenever he was asked how much farther there was to go, he would answer with his mantra: “The distance is the distance.”

The distance was far too short, Paddy.

My deepest sympathy to Christy, Madeline and the O’Byrne family on the very sad passing of Paddy. May he rest in peace and enjoy the reunion with his beloved Mum. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

So sorry to hear of Patrick’s death. May he rest in peace.

I'm heartbroken at the news of Paddy's passing. I will never forget his infectious laugh, his stories and his ability to have everyone in his company in tears laughing. I'll forever treasure the memories of our road trips when our little gang used to head off for long weekends many years ago.

I'm so grateful I had the opportunity to reconnect and reminisce with Paddy over the past while. He was unique - there will never be another like him.

My sincerest condolences to Christy, Madeleine, Tony, Stephen, Gertrude, Roslyn and the rest of Paddy's family and friends at this time. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Paddy, I don't know what to say. I am just speechless as i was told of your passing a mere 20 minutes or so after it happened.
I first met you in AA in Summer 2010 as you dated a woman, that i won't bother to name as she is not worth that mention.
I quickly became friends with you from there on in. You gave me inspiration, hope and great memories in the early 2010's especially and you continued to be one of my very best friends right up until you passed this year.
As you always said one foot in front of the other, head down, keep walking and all will be grand. You always had some words of wisdom to say, no matter how amazing or silly they were haha
I love you and miss you man.
All the laughs , adventures and hanging out.
You are now with your beloved mother whom you mentioned throughout the years. See you on the other side brother x

Sincere sympathies to Christy, Madeline and O’Byrne family on the sad passing of Paddy. I was just getting to know Paddy as we both shared our experiences of our illness’s and treatment along the way. We had a few good chats and laughs as we supported one another. I thought we would have had more, I was shocked and deeply saddened to hear this news. May Paddy’s gentle soul rest in peace.
