Tributes have poured in for Galway dad-of-three who lost his life in a tragic workplace accident.
Pat (Patrick) Lardner died at the scene of an accident at a commercial business in Tuam on Friday, April 5. His body was taken to University Hospital Galway for a post-mortem.
Pat was of Kincullia, Loughrea and formerly of Cashla, Athenry, in Co Galway.
Pat will be very sadly missed by his best friend and loving wife Éilish and by his much-adored children Dylan, Megan and Michelle, by Dylan’s partner Rebecca and Megan’s partner Conor.
Pat will also be deeply regretted by his brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces, father-in-law, relatives, extended family, neighbours and his wide circle of friends.
Since the tragic news broke out, heartfelt tributes have poured in for Pat, who has been described as a "wonderful man", who was always in "good form".
His funeral will take place on Wednesday, April 10. His funeral cortege will arrive to St Brendan’s Cathedral, Loughrea for Requiem Mass at 12.30 pm followed by burial immediately afterwards in Bullaun New Cemetery.
A fundraiser has been organised for the family of Pat, to which you can donate here.
