A Gathering For Darragh Kelly

Darragh Kelly Newtown

Our beautiful boy, Darragh Kelly, our spring baby, passed away peacefully in his Mama’s arms, to the beat of his Dada’s drum, on Thursday 21st May 2026. Our little fighter, courageous to the end. Forever loved by his adoring parents Ciara and Ray, big brother Lochlann and big sister Éimhín, nana Siobhán and papa John, grandma Josephine and grandy Tom, aunts and uncles, Eoin, Jen, Alison, Nicolas, Lisa, Tomas, Janina, his cousin Anton, all of the Beatty McCabe Kelly Murtagh extended family and our wonderful friends. The care and support of family, friends, his medical team, aka the St. Michael’s B aunties, neighbours and fellow mothers will always be remembered and appreciated.
