John Dunford

John Dunford of Corbawn Close, Shankill, and formerly of Castlebar and sometimes Lanzarote, died peacefully on the 18th November, 2023 surrounded by his loving family in the Blackrock Hospice.

Predeceased by his parents Stephen and Bernie, his brothers Steve and Tom, and nephew Kevin.

John lived every minute of his life to the full and was a generous, loving man who will be deeply missed by his wife Hilly, daughters Becky, Hannah, Katy and Emily, sons-in-law Niall and Craig, grandchildren Shay, Jude and Sid, brother Chuck, sister Derval, sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, nieces, nephews, his entire extended family and many close friends.

John’s career was varied and successful, including playing a leading role in the Irish music scene, teaching and lecturing, and a stretch as a salty sea captain.

Reposing at Colliers Funeral Home, Old Connaught Avenue, Bray, on Wednesday (22nd November) from 4.00pm to 6.00pm, all welcome.

At John’s request, his funeral will take place privately. House strictly private.
