Brendan Ellis - Late of Ranelagh and Donnybrook, 19th November 2025. Brendan passed away peacefully, surrounded by the tender love and care of his family and the staff of St. Vincent’s University Hospital. He had also been in the beautiful and compassionate care of Marlay Nursing Home, St. James’s Hospital, Donnybrook Gardaí and several ambulance crews.
Brendan will be forever missed by his heartbroken wife Honor, his son Ben Ellis-Fine, brothers Des and Noel, sister Patricia and their partners; his ever-caring niece Emma Ellis who held a very special place in his heart, extended family in London and Australia, step-son and daughter Mahon and Isolde Carmody, and his cherished extended family of nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews. He will be fondly remembered by his many co-performers, writers and directors, neighbours, admirers and his wide circle of friends.
“I have warmed both hands at the fire of life
It sinks, and I am ready to depart.”
