Kevin Mulroy 1964-1994

Wednesday February 22nd 2023 marks the 29th anniversary of the death of Kevin Mulroy of Glenisland, Castlebar and Edinburgh.
Kevin loved the outdoors. His passion was climbing hills and mountains with his friends, as can be seen in the slideshow above.
Kevin died while climbing Ben Nevis on 22nd of February 1994. He was 7 weeks short of his 30th birthday. Had he lived another 18 months, he would have become my brother-in-law.
The Joy of Living was written by Ewan MacColl, and is sung here by David Gray.
When I listen to this song, I hear Kevin in every line, in every note.
Years pass by and they're gone
With the speed of birds in flight.
Our lives like the verse of a song,
Heard in the mountains.
Give me your hand and love,
And join your voice with mine.
We'll sing of the hurt and the pain,
And the joy of living.
