The death has occurred of Mark O’Connor, Louise Doherty O’Connor and their beloved son Evan O’Connor, at their home in Drumgowna, Co. Louth. Mark was well known for his love of running and was a cherished member of the local running club North East Runners Dundalk, while passionately working for disability advocacy through his career. Louise was known by all as kind, spent many years working as a nurse while also volunteering in the community and being a valued member of the Ardee Local Vocals singing group. Evan was cherished by all who knew him in the Community, during his time at ABACUS School in Drogheda and the Praxis Hub Network in Drogheda. Mark, Louise and Evan are survived by Cian and Robert. They are also dearly missed by Cian’s fiancé Shauna and her family, the O’Connor and Doherty families and many friends. May They Rest in Peace
