Trevor Browne (27 May 1944 - 19 Apr 2025)

Eulogy for Trev

Today, we gather with very heavy hearts to say goodbye to a truly remarkable man — my godfather, a hero of mine, a man who I look up too and a huge part of our family, Trevor Browne.

It’s hard to put into words what Trev meant to us. He was, quite simply, one of the kindest souls to ever walk this earth. A man who would do anything for anyone — not out of obligation, but because it was simply in his nature to give, to care, and to love without condition. His generosity of spirit, his quiet strength, and his unwavering presence were gifts to all of us who were lucky enough to know him.

Trev had a deep and gentle love for the natural world, especially for birds. He found beauty in the flutter of wings, joy in the song of canaries and budgies, and purpose in the quiet work of caring for his beloved birds. It was as if his compassion reached beyond people and into the smallest corners of life — nothing was too small or too fragile for his care.

He was a devoted Man, a pillar of strength for my nanny, and a rock for our entire family. Trev was the one we could all rely on — for a laugh when we needed cheering up, for a helping hand when times were tough, and for a warm presence that made everything feel just a bit better.

He brought us humour — the kind that lifted spirits and made us laugh even in difficult times. He brought us safety — a calm, steady presence who made you feel protected just by being near. And most of all, he brought us love — unspoken, unconditional, and ever-present.

To say that Trev will be missed feels far too small a statement for the space he filled in our lives. His absence has left a hole in our hearts that cannot be patched. But even in our grief, we find comfort in the memories he gave us, in the laughter we shared, and in the love that will live on through all of us.

Trev was the nicest man any of us ever knew. And though he may no longer be with us in body, his spirit will always be with us — in every kind act we do, in every shared family moment, and every time we hear the gentle song of a bird.

Rest peacefully Trev, you gave so much. You were so loved. And you will never be forgotten.

Rest in peace Trev, and fly high with the birds sending love to all the family with love Emily, Eilir Anthony and Jessica x

You've always been family to me and you were one of the truly good ones on this earth and shall be sorely missed. I personally will miss our chats, your stories. I owe you a song for sure.

"A gentle wing, now still and small,
has flown away, beyond the wall.
A feathered friend, a vibrant hue,
now sings no more, but rests in dew.
The sky may weep, the flowers fade,
but memories light a gentle shade.
The bird is free, its spirit bright,
a star among the fading light."

Rest in peace to a wonderful, kind hearted man.

Love Hannah, Ben, Henry and Arthur. Xx

My Dad
Well most of my memories are in the early years with my dads passion for his music and birds/animals, as you are aware my dad use to sing in a group called Star-Lite he sang country/Rock and he was pretty good to, just saying lol, as to our animals our house was never without some form of animal, we had dogs indoors our Patch the whippet and Duke the lurcher, as dad use to go shooting and coursing with them..Our garden well what can I say we had more different kinds of animals then a zoo, we had chickens, ducks, geese, along with rabbits, ferrits and Evan a fox, we also had a bloody donkey and pony, with his 3 pigeon lofts, he loved his racing pigeons and couldn’t wait for the wk ends to go racing, well then sadly that came to a end with my mum and dad splitting up, wasn’t a good split but when are they, but not going into that, leave that in the past..
At that point our family was broken and my sister and brother and I didn’t see my dad for many years, sad but true, don’t get me wrong as I got older I knew where he was and lived, but this wasn’t our time, not gonna just put the blame on him but it wasn’t us either…
Then I heard he moved in with Vera, that for me was a bit of good news and may be a time to make contact with him again, our family had known the Dade family most of my life, so I got in touch and we met up and had a chat and from there we started to see each other , I think he was happy that we did meet up, I was Evan if it was to start mending that bridge that was broke, so for that I’m real happy I had these past years with him in mine and Mels life. I know Vera made dad happy as he did her to and he had a good life with her and all her family, I’d like to also thank everyone of you who welcomed him in your life’s and your life’s in to his.
So Dad I’m sad that you have gone but happy you are pain free, you fly high Dad, till we meet again
🙏🏻💙🙏🏻
