Martin Gallagher
Died - 13th February 2026
We the family of the late Martin Gallagher would like to extend our sincere thanks and appreciation to all those who have sympathised with us during the recent bereavement of our beloved husband, father, granda, great-granda, great-great-granda and brother.
We are so grateful for everyone’s kindness and support through the days before daddy’s passing and throughout the wake. For everyone who prayed for & visited Martin during his illness. To all of you who came to the wake, brought Mass/Sympathy Cards and attended the Funeral Mass, your heartfelt presence helped us as a family in this difficult time. We could not have done this without each and everyone of you, and we thank you for your continuing love and support.
Thank you to the medical professionals who cared for Martin throughout his illness and in particular Mairead from the Foyle Hospice (Daddy doted on her and her care, support and reassurance to him and us as a family was invaluable). The lovely Dr. Knox and staff of Northside Medical Group alongside the excellent district nurse team whom again all provided such special care to daddy and as a family we are beyond grateful for this. And finally, the Marie Curie team who helped us greatly especially in Martin’s last few days.
Thank you to Fr. Declan for visiting daddy in his final days & for doing his Requiem Mass which was conducted so beautifully and honoured daddy so well. To Oonagh Caldwell, for the beautiful singing and Charlotte Logue for the beautiful accompaniment music.
A special token of thanks to Amanda and the team at Avenue 17 whom brought food up to the wake house. As a family we are so appreciative of this kind gesture.
To Kieran and Warren from McClafferty Funeral Directors for their guidance, support, professionalism and respectful presence throughout the wake and funeral. We are beyond thankful.
We hope this acknowledgement will be accepted as a sincere token of our gratitude to everyone who sympathised and supported us in all the different ways. Please continue to keep Martin in your prayers.
Martin’s Month Mind Mass will be offered up in Our Lady of Lourdes Church, Steelstown on Friday 13th March at 10am.
Dearly missed by all his loving family. Forever in our hearts.
