The father of three and his extended family are a huge part of the Roslea community
A Co Fermanagh GAA club has paid tribute to former player Ciaran Cassidy following his sudden passing. The father of three and his extended family are a huge part of the Roslea Shamrocks GAA community.
Cassidy passed away on Thursday, August 28, and he leaves behind his wife Aine and three kids – Aodhan, Michael and Daire. Ciaran represented Roslea Shamrocks at all levels up until recent years and he is the brother of former Fermanagh GAA county defender Niall Cassidy.
A Roslea statement on social media read: “The Committee, players and members of Roslea Shamrocks are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of former player Ciaran Cassidy. Ciaran played at both underage and senior levels. He was part of championship winning squads throughout his playing career, including Senior and Junior titles. Most recently, he lined out at wing half-back in our Senior Football League Division 2 Final against Devenish in 2023.
“We extend our sincere condolences to Ciaran’s children, Aodhan, Michael (current U14 player), Daire (current U12 player), and their mother Aine. Our thoughts are also with his parents, Mick and Maisie, loyal club supporters, and his siblings, John, Margaret (Gerry Corr), Niall (Lucia), and Catherine (Peter Mullarkey), along with his nieces and nephews. His nephew Jamie is a member of the current Senior squad.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with his entire family circle and friends at this difficult time. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.”
His funeral will take place on Monday, September 1 at St Tierney’s Church, Roslea.
