On behalf of Alexs family:

It is with deep sadness that we share the heartbreaking tragic passing of our beloved Alex Coughlan on Sunday, 17th May 2026.

Alex was truly loved by everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. His kindness, warmth, and presence touched so many lives, and he will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who knew him.

In an incredible final act of kindness and generosity, Alex’s organs have been donated to help others in need — a lasting gift that reflects the caring and selfless person he was.

During this incredibly difficult time, Alex’s family would like to sincerely thank all the staff involved in his care at Connolly Hospital Blanchardstown for their compassion, support, and kindness. They would also like to thank all family and friends who have been there for them with messages, visits, prayers, and support over the past days.

As the family prepare for the difficult weeks ahead and the upcoming funeral and related expenses, any donation, no matter how small, would be greatly appreciated and will help ease some of the financial burden during this heartbreaking time.

Most importantly, the family ask that Alex be remembered for the wonderful person he was and the love and laughter he brought to so many.

Thank you for your kindness, support, and generosity.
