The death has occurred of Chester-Roonies Byrne (Bessbrook)

Byrne, (Bessbrook) May 10, 2025, (aged 2 years old) fell asleep (peacefully) in the tender care of the Royal Victoria Hospital for Sick Children, surrounded by his devoted parents, Emma and David.

Chester is the cherished brother of Reuben and the grandson of Elaine and Liam Byrne, Elizabeth and Pat Quinn, and the late Anne Vint (nee Quinn), RIP.

If you would like to call to Chester’s home 36 Hillcrest Avenue, Bessbrook, to pay your respects, visiting times are from 4 pm to 8 pm on Monday, 12th May and Tuesday, 13th May 2025.

Chester will leave his home on Wednesday, 14th May 2025, at 9.45 am for 10.45 am Requiem Mass, in St. Joseph’s Church, Meigh. Cremation will follow later in Lakelands Crematorium, Co. Cavan

Chester will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by his mother, father, brother, grandparents and entire family circle. May he rest in peace.

In memory of our beautiful son Chester, we, his parents Emma and David, will continue his legacy through @Chesterschance- using his social media campaign to share his story, raise awareness, and support The Children’s Cancer Unit Charity.

Though our hearts are broken, our mission is clear. Chester’s bravery and spirit will guide us as we work to help other children and families facing the unimaginable.

We love you to the moon and back forever our Chester-Roonies. Xxx
