Life story

Declan will be missed for his infectious laugh, always at the centre of a good time. He was a curious soul, soaking up knowledge from all corners of the web. He had a mind for the most abstract trivia, never visited a museum he didn’t like and never stopped asking questions. His enthusiasms for hockey, history, politics and film were enormous and he generously shared them with all. Declan enjoyed many adventures living in South East Asia and we know his love of travel and new cultures would have continued.

He was Mr. Christmas, donning a Santa hat each year as soon as he could get away with it. He loved Will Ferrell movies, the Leafs, teasing his father, Harry Potter, an eclectic mix of music, and guacamole.

We are thankful of the extra time together as a family over the past few years during COVID lock downs and quarantining in Ireland, building warm memories that will comfort our hearts for the rest of our lives.

Declan is survived by his mother Buffy, father Mark and his brother/best friend Aidan.
