Iain Pratt

Iain R.M. Pratt of Vielmur-Sur-Agout, France, 81570 (formerly Rathmines, Dublin) has passed very peacefully (he is at peace thanks be to our merciful lord) on Wednesday, 9th August, at his home in the south of France, surrounded by his children following a short illness. We his children, would like to thank our wives & husbands for their exceptional support during this time. The care and support he received in the past weeks has been nothing short of exceptional. We would like to thank his carers and close friends for this. There has been some lovely messages and chats over the past weeks that Iain was very grateful for especially from his sister-in-law Helen who has shown us all immense support.

 

His funeral will be in the village in France, Wednesday, 16th August, at 10.30am (French Time) – Live steaming is not possible from the church due to limited WIFI. We will place a link here of a recording of the funeral as soon as possible (most likely 7pm). We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

 

Following his funeral, he will be cremated and returned to Ireland to be laid finally to rest with his beloved wife Cecily, who passed away 30th January 2021 and our sister Liz who passed 2nd June 1980.

 

Their children (Jonnie, Andy, CJ & Vicki) will be holding a memorial service for them both in September (details to follow). Iain leaves behind his grandchildren Charlotte, Robyn, Joao, Nico, Thomas, Matilde & Maia, his children in-law Valerie, Ines, Tim (Plugger) and Denis all of whom he was extremely fond of and will have fantastic memories of him, his extended family and a widely spread group of friends.

 

Iain & Cecily are very sadly missed but had an amazing life of adventure and celebration that they will be remembered for. They will never be forgotten by anyone who was fortunate enough to experience their hospitality and generosity.

 

May they both rest in peace (What What !). We love you Mum & Dad.
