John James JJ Higgins

Peacefully after a brave struggle in the kind and gentle care of the staff at the Claddagh Ward, GUH, with his loving partner and a good friend by his side. Much loved and sadly missed by his partner Monique, his sister Angela, his nieces Mary, Therese and Breege, his nephew Joseph, their spouses Declan, Paddy, Barry and Bernie, his grand nieces and grand nephews and his cousins. Also sadly missed by his many friends, neighbours and extended family.

A strong and gentle man, firmly connected to family and community.

May He Rest In Peace.
