Dear Anne,
I was very sad to read of Kieran’s passing. I have very fond memories of Kieran from the soccer trips we used to take. He was a very vibrant man with a huge heart and a fabulous smile. It is a great loss to the soccer community. Please accept my prayers for your family in this difficult time.

Hello, this message is from the O’Keefe’s two doors down from you Anne (Gillian, Kerry, Liam, and Rory as well.)

I used to see him at work. Obviously not so much over recent years. I have missed his smiling face and sense of humour coming in the door. It was always a bright spot in my day when he came in. My deepest sympathies to the McGarrigle clan. He will be sorely missed.

To Kieran’s Family

As an upcoming referee in the City of Calgary I had the privilege to work with and get to know Kieran as an excellent Referee and a wonderful person.
I was shocked to hear the news about his passing.
He’ll be sadly missed.

My thoughts are with you during this sad time.

My thoughts are with you. I am sorry that I can not be there today to honour someone who was so highly regarded within our soccer community. I will never forget his presence on and off the field.

On behalf of the Chairman and Members of the CSA Referees Committee, I extend our deepest sympathy at the passing of Kieran. An individual committed to the sport of soccer and refereeing in particular, he will be missed by the refereeing family and people whose life he enriched in countless ways.

You are in our thoughts at this sad time.

I am so sorry for your loss. Kieran and I worked together for about 20 years, but we worked side by side at Fish Creek for the last few years. In those years working side by side you really get to know each other. You get to see a side of that person other people don’t. When I went through a divorce I had a very difficult time and I saw a caring and compasionate side of Kieran I don’t think many people know about. For the support I got from him I will always be grateful.
I also saw the man who was always so supportive and proud of his children and their accomplishments. His family was important to him.
He was my friend and I will miss him.
