Bringing Kevin Home...





The repatriation of our beloved friend Kevin Bell has been confirmed, his remains will arrive home early Wednesday morning (19th June) and leave Heaney Funeral Parlour in Newry, at 2pm.

The requiem mass for Kevin will take place Saturday 22nd June in Cloghogue Chapel at 12 noon. 

Kevin was known far and wide, and the vast number of people wanting to pay their respects is phenomenal. 

An online book of condolences has been opened, you can pay your respects here http://destinationnewry.com/deathnotice/memory-of-kevin.php

Last night (Monday) a vigil was held in remembrance of Kevin in New York. A huge crowd gathered at 233rd St Oneida Avenue, where the tragic accident took place. James Moynagh, Kevin's flat mate and co-work sent a text to say hundreds had turned out for the occasion organised by the Irish Centre, New York. A true testament to our dear friend, and how his short life touched so many hearts.

A memorial service has been arranged for Friday (21st June) at in St. Barnabas Church 409 East 241st Street, Woodlawn at 7pm.

A legend that will never be forgotten.
