The only son and eldest child of popular Castlebar photographer Michael Donnelly has died tragically in the USA.
Thirty-four-year old Paul Donnelly, Lisnacurley, Ballyheane, Castlebar lost his life on Wednesday in a moped accident in Naples, Florida, where he had been living since February. Paul, a person who has been described by his friends as someone who loved life and loved travel, recently moved to the States. It was not his first time residing in America; he spent several years in Boston, and he has also spent time living in several European cities.
When at home he was a popular barman in numerous Castlebar pubs including the Coach, the Castle Inn and Maximos and he also played darts for Tony Flynn’s team.
Paul will be sadly missed by his loving parents Michael and Eileen, sisters Carmel, Michelle and Nicola, relatives, neighbours and friends.
Funeral arrangements have yet to be announced.
