Tony Roddy, Aughafad Road, Fintona, Co Tyrone.
Died 23rd May 2025.
Tony’s family would like to express their sincere and heartfelt thanks to everyone who offered their condolences, during the recent sad loss of our much loved Tony, which has left a deep void in the lives and hearts of all who knew and loved him.
Tony was a highly respected gentleman in the community, but primarily he was a dearly loved family man, devoted husband of the late Elizabeth (Liz), adored father of Susie and father in law of Poraic. Precious grandfather of Melissa, Jessica and Rebecca and a very dear friend.
We are truly grateful to all who sent Mass or Sympathy Cards, and to those who left messages of sympathy via social media. Thank you also to those who sent donations in lieu of flowers and to those who lined the funeral route, or attended the Requiem Mass and burial.
We are very blessed to have had the love and support of our relatives, friends, neighbours and work colleagues, during and since the time of Tony’s passing.
A special word of thanks to Father Seán Mulligan. for his spiritual support and the very comforting Requiem Mass. We convey our appreciation also to the Sacristan and everyone who took part in the Liturgy, especially our readers, and our singer Paschal McAnenly who provided the very beautiful, reverent and uplifting music.
Thank you to McAtee Funeral Directors for the dignified and professional manner in which the funeral arrangements were carried out, and to the gravedigger Tommy for preparing Tony’s final resting place. Our thanks also to Roisin of Nettles and Petals for the beautiful floral tributes and to the ladies of St. Patrick’s Hall for the very welcome refreshments after the burial.
And finally, we send our sincere thanks and deep appreciation to all in the Palliative Care Team Omagh whom provided exceptional support, showing not only professionalism but deep compassion and dignity in Tony’s final days.
As it would be impossible to thank everyone individually, please accept this acknowledgement as a gesture of our family’s deepest gratitude.
Tony is ever loved and greatly missed every day; may his generous, kind, gentle soul be granted peace and eternal rest. Tony’s Month’s Mind Mass will be celebrated in St. Lawrence’s Church, Fintona, Co. Tyrone on Saturday 5th July at 6pm. Our Lady pray for him.
