Sean (John) Francis MacDermott

Sean passed away peacefully in his sleep on 17th August 2025 whilst being treated at Mallow General Hospital. Sean fought hard over a period of months but sadly didn't recover this time around.

He lived for his family, close and extended, and especially for his grandchildren who were his world.

 

He will be sorely missed by his children Kevin and Dylan, their partners Phillipa and Tania, grandchildren Alfie, Lily Erin and Jenna, his brother Ciaran, sisters Margaret and Cally, all their families, his nieces and nephews and their children, and everyone who knew or met him.

 

Reposing at his home, privately and for family only please. Sean will be cremated at Shannon Crematorium on Monday 25th August at 2pm. A link to the service will be posted here for those far and wide who can't make the service in person. Visit www shannoncrematorium.com password SMDB2

 

May He Rest In Peace.
