Everyone at St Eunan’s GAA Club would like to express our deep sorrow and extend our sincerest condolences to the Patton family following the sad and untimely passing of Peter Patton, Trimragh, Letterkenny.
The weather today was perhaps befitting of the mood across the town, as Letterkenny awoke to the heartbreaking news of Peter’s passing. Just as a cloud hung over the town throughout the day, a deep sense of sadness has descended upon our club.
From the stands, Peter could often be found proudly cheering on his son Shaun, whether he was wearing the St Eunan’s or Donegal jersey. Wherever the game, Peter would be there, offering his support and encouragement. Most recently, in Enniskillen on Saturday night, wearing that familiar, proud smile.
We also wish to extend our thoughts to everyone at Peter’s beloved Bonagee United FC, where he was a dedicated volunteer, loyal supporter and, recently, a proud recipient of the club’s ‘Club Person of the Year’ award.
Funny, loyal, warm, passionate and proud, Peter’s passing will be deeply felt throughout St Eunan’s GAA Club and by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
Like the fog that lingered over the town today, Peter’s memory will forever linger within St Eunan’s GAA Club. His presence will be sorely missed but fondly remembered.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends, and all who mourn his passing, at this incredibly difficult time.
Especially thinking of his loving wife Anne Marie and family Lauren (Ethan), Shaun (Rebecca), Emma (Stephen) and Stefany, his parents Jim and Rosemary, brothers Charlie (Catherine), James (Jacqui), Mark (Francess), Damian (Annmarie), Gary (Claire) and Declan, sister Marisa (Michael), brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, nieces, nephews, cousins and a wide circle of family, friends and neighbours.
Peter’s remains will be reposing at his late residence (F92 A3C4) on Tuesday 10th November and Wednesday 11th November from 12 noon until 10pm, with Rosary both nights at 9pm.
Funeral on Thursday 12th November at 12 noon in the Church of the Irish Martyrs, Ballyraine, Letterkenny - which can be viewed on YouTube.
Interment afterwards in New Leck Cemetery, Letterkenny.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis 🖤💛
