ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Brian McCOOL
Died 22nd February 2026
We, the family of the late Brian McCool, who passed away on 22nd February 2026, would like to sincerely thank everyone who offered sympathy, kindness and support during our recent bereavement of Brian, a much-loved husband, father, brother and friend.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who cared for and prayed for Brian during his illness. We also would like to thank all who attended his wake and funeral, those who sent Mass cards, sympathy cards, messages of condolence, and flowers and gifts.
Thank you to all who helped at the wake and offered support in so many ways, and to everyone who wrote such kind and thoughtful tributes to Brian on social media. It was very evident how much he was loved and respected and how deeply he touched the lives of so many, especially his Blanket Men Comrades.
A heartfelt thank you to our extended family for their incredible support throughout Brian's illness, particularly in his final days and during the wake. Your presence, kindness and help carried us through an incredibly sad time, and we will always be grateful. A special mention of thanks to Bobby, Toots, Thomas and Paddy Duke, his very close friends.
We would also like to express our sincere gratitude to Brian's carers, particularly the Ambulance personnel and Nurse Mark Barr in the A&E Department who cared for Brian with dignity and kindness.
Our sincere thanks to Fr Ignacy who celebrated a beautiful Requiem Mass, and whose words about Brian touched us deeply. Thank you to Jordan, Ed and Josh for the music, which added so much to the Mass and the celebration of Brian's life.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to Bradley & McLaughlin undertakers and their team for their kindness, professionalism and support throughout the wake and funeral. Their guidance and attention to detail were a great comfort to our family during such a difficult time.
Finally, the prayers, kindness and sympathy shown by so many people have been a great comfort to our family. As it is impossible to thank everyone individually, please accept this acknowledgement as a sincere expression of our heartfelt appreciation and gratitude. A mass has been offered for all your intentions.
