The brother of Anna Geary has died at the age of 34.

Thomas Geary passed away in University Hospital Limerick (UHL) on Wednesday

According to a notice on RIP.ie, Thomas is survived by his mother Ellen Ann, fiancée Mary Ita, sister Anna, Anna's husband Kevin and their baby Ronan, extended relatives, friends, neighbours, and those in local GAA circles.

His funeral will take place on Saturday in Milford.

Condolences have rolled in from those who knew him, with one person writing: "There was always fun and laughter when he was around. A pure gentleman." 

Another said "Thomas was a great character and above all an absolute gentleman gone to heavens hallowed halls much too soon."

Mr Geary was an engineer and worked at BCD engineering in Cork

The Milford Community Cork Facebook page paid their “deepest sympathy” to Thomas’ family, alongside an Irish phrase meaning, “May his holy soul be on the right side of God”. 

In a post on social media they said: “Deepest sympathy to all the Geary and Murphy families and friends on the passing of Thomas. May he rest in peace Ar dheis Dé go raibh a h'anam dílis.”

His funeral takes place at Church of Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Milford in County Cork on Saturday with burial afterwards in Dromcollogher cemetery.

In March of 2022, Anna lost her father Michael.
