Funeral arrangements for popular Mayo barber who died in tragic accident

The death has occurred tragically, following an accident, of Tony Fallon, 21 Fr. Meehan Place, Castlebar.

Predeceased by his dad Michael, he is sadly missed by his heartbroken son Conor, mother Anne, sisters Mary King (Rinshinna, Castlebar), Caroline Quinn (McHale Road, Castlebar), Teresa Fallon (Springfield, Castlebar) and Fiona Fahy (Westport).

Tony is also mourned by his brothers-in-law Michael King, Brendan Burke and Adrian Fahy, his uncle Sean Fallon and aunts May Heenan, Brid Griffin (USA) and Joan Redmond, nephews, nieces, grand-niece Nellie, cousins, work colleagues, extended family, neighbours and many friends.

Deepest sympathy is extended to the bereaved family on their loss.

Tony started his working career at the age of 16 years with “Larry’s Barbers” and for the past 20 years he has worked in Ger Staunton’s Barber Shop in Castlebar.

He made many lifelong friends during his working life and in the many activities he took part in, like playing pool with his friends on the Flynn’s pool team.

Listening to music on the juke box was another interest of his, especially Foo Fighters and AC/DC.

He liked an odd flutter in the bookies and watching his beloved Liverpool and Celtic F.C.

For relaxation he loved watching wildlife programmes on TV.

But his greatest enjoyment came from the time he spent with his son Conor, especially when they went fishing together.

Tony was gifted mechanically and he could literally fix anything from watches to motor bikes.

Tony will repose in Kilcoyne’s Funeral Home, Thomas Street, Castlebar, on Friday from 6.30 to 8.00 p.m.

The funeral will arrive at the Church of the Holy Rosary, Castlebar, on Saturday for Funeral Mass at 11 a.m. followed by cremation service in Shannon Crematorium at 3 p.m.

May his gentle soul rest in peace.
