Tom Brett

Peacefully, on the morning of 16th March, our beloved dad Tom Brett passed in his sleep, after a year of health struggles. Husband of the late and much-loved Eily Brett, father to Martina, Ciarán, Sandy, Alan, Deirdre and Stephen, grandfather to Vicki, Gareth, Thomas, Saoirse, Rebecca, Robert and Tara, and great-grandfather to Arabella-Rose and Albie. His vibrant, loving and cheeky personality will be hugely missed by his immediate family, but also by his extended family; his brother-in-law, his sons- and daughters-in-law, his many nieces and nephews; and all of those he met throughout his life. He was always passing on words of wisdom followed by a joke (or two), as well as lifting the spirits of all, through his love of music.

The family would like to extend their gratitude for the kindness shown by all staff at Rathkeevan Care Home, who graciously looked after him until the end, and to Mary and Angela, the loving nurses who visited and cared for him while he was at home. And a very special thank you to his niece Lillian, whose kindness and support to dad, and all of us, will never be forgotten.

Tom will be reposing at Walsh's Funeral Home, Carrick on Suir, on Wednesday, the 22nd March, from 5pm to 6.30pm, walking from Funeral Home to St Mary's Cemetery, Carrick on Suir, on Thursday, the 23rd March, at 10.30am, followed by Private Cremation at the Island Crematorium Cork.
