Desmond (Des) Richardson

Richardson, Desmond (Des), 22nd March, Blackrock, Co. Dublin. With a mix of sadness and gratitude, we say goodbye to our legendary Des, who made his grand exit surrounded by everyone he adored.

A devoted husband to Fran, the ABSOLUTE best dad to Jenny, Orla, and Kerri, and the greatest pal to his sons-in-law Stephen, Rory and Stephen, he was the glue that held the gang together. But where Des truly shined was in his role as Granddad Extraordinaire to Ella, Ben, Jeanie, Beauden, Posie, and Zeph. Deeply missed by his siblings, nieces, and nephews.

So, raise a glass, share a story, and remember Dessie the way he’d want, full of love, laughter, and maybe a hint of mischief.

Des’s Funeral Mass will take place on Friday 28th March at the Church of the Assumption, Booterstown Avenue at 11.00am, followed by private family cremation.

HOUSE STRICTLY PRIVATE.
