It is with profound sadness that we share the tragic passing of Aidan O'Grady, a beloved son, brother, and friend to so many people. His loss was sudden and unexpected, and it has left his family and all of us who knew him heartbroken.

Aidan was a young man with his whole life ahead of him. He had just recently begun a semester studying abroad in Spain from NC State when the tragic event occurred while exploring the Lanzarote area of the Canary Islands. He was known for his warm smile, kindness, and his love for adventure. He made a lasting impact on everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

During this incredibly difficult time, please consider donating to help with unforeseen expenses and other immediate needs. We are raising funds to help ease the financial burden so the family can focus on grieving, healing, and honoring Aidan’s life.

Any donation, no matter the amount, is deeply appreciated. If you are unable to give, please consider sharing this page and keeping the O’Grady family in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and support during this unimaginable loss.

Please note, I am a long time and a dear friend to the O'Grady family. Our children grew up together in the same neighborhood and we have remained closest of friends to this day. Brendan O'Grady, Aidan’s father, has been named the beneficiary of this fundraiser to ensure all support goes directly to the O'Grady family. Thank you again for your kindness. Sincerely, Mark.
