From the Clarkin family:
On behalf of the family it is with profound sadness that daughter Dionne Clarkin is sharing the news of the passing of Tony Clarkin. Following a short illness, he died peacefully surrounded by his girls on Sunday 7th January 2024.
“I know that Tony has touched so many people through his music in so manydifferent ways. I don’t really have words to express what he meant to me rightnow as the grief is too fresh.
As many of you know Tony had a great affinity with animals. It is the family’sintention to set up a charitable trust in his name to aid this cause, further detailsto follow. Please do not send flowers or cards, as he would have much preferredexpressions of sympathy to go to charity in this way.
It was a privilege to call him my Dad.”
