Liam Browne
Died - 21st February 2026
We, Liam’s sons Tomas and Gabriel, our mother Rachael, along with Liam’s sisters Catherine, Mairead, Claire and their families, wish to extend our sincere thanks and appreciation to everyone who sympathised with us on the loss of our much-loved father, brother and friend.
We are truly grateful to our family and friends who supported us throughout Liam’s illness and wake; to all who paid their respects, sent Mass cards, messages, floral tributes or donations in lieu; and to those who attended the funeral, both in person and online. Your kindness and support brought us great comfort during this very difficult time.
We offer our heartfelt thanks to Fr. Shaun Doherty for celebrating Liam’s Funeral Mass, and to Sarah McGarrity and her accompanist for the beautiful music and singing which meant so much to us.
We are deeply thankful to the staff of Critical Care and Ward 9 at The Royal Sussex County Hospital. We will never forget the care, dedication and compassion shown to Liam and to our family during his short illness. We also drew great comfort and strength from Liam’s friends who visited him during his time in hospital; your company, stories and memories were very welcome during a difficult time for all of us.
We are indebted to The Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust for the care and consideration shown in bringing Liam home. Their professionalism and kindness eased a great burden for our family, and we are profoundly grateful that such an organisation exists to support families in times like ours.
Finally, we extend our special thanks to Mr. Kieran Connor and the staff at McClafferty Funeral Directors. Liam’s homecoming, wake and funeral were conducted with the utmost dignity, care and respect. Your calm guidance and support throughout were deeply appreciated and much needed.
