Acheson - Mark (Artane/Clontarf) 29th October 2022, unexpectedly and peacefully at Beaumont Hospital surrounded by his family and Reverend Lesley Robinson. Beloved husband of Jean and adored father of Kim and Sam.

Predeceased by his father Steve and father-in-law Ivan with whom he has now been reunited in Heaven.

Mark was a devoted lifelong parishioner of the Church of St. John the Baptist, Seafield Road West, Clontarf, and the current President of the Boys’ Brigade in Ireland. He was a Lay Reader in the United Dioceses of Dublin and Glendalough and while based in Clontarf was delighted to fill in or assist in many churches on the Northside of Dublin. He was on the Board of SPADE; a proud Past President of the Mountjoy/Mount Temple Past Pupils’ Association, and over the years was involved in many different youth work roles including those with DCY/CIYC/NYCI.
