Patrick Kelly: easy craic, deep soul.
By Greg McGee
Patrick Kelly, we remember your sparkling mischief and sensitivity, and not the toll taken by that cruel disease.
You helped us when we first started with a warm wisdom and ready wit, two qualities which have since set us in good stead on the choppy waters of the creative industries. We continue to be grateful to you for that. We wish we'd pushed to see more of you at the end, but your lovely family had you in their arms when you needed them, and we're reassured that you died knowing how beloved you were.
Rest in Peace, now, friend.
Love Ails and Greg
