It has been almost four years since the life of Adrian Mc Closkey was tragically cut short when a freak accident at work took him away from his family and friends.

Loved by all who knew him, always up for the craic, and with a permanent smile on his face Adrian left behind his father and mother, seven siblings, his four children and their mother as well as a legion of friends who all miss him dearly.

Adrian has reserved a place in the hearts of all who knew him and will forever be remembered by everyone as a kind and generous gentleman and such was underlined by the legion of people who attended his wake and followed the funeral procession to lay him to rest at the Church of the Sacred Heart on Cargin hill.

The Northern Air Ambulance attended the scene of Adrian’s accident but despite their sterling efforts they were unable to save his life.

Adrian’s family and friends will be forever indebted to their efforts as they did all they could to prevent their loss as they salute their valiant endurance and pay tribute to the hugely vital service they provide.

The Air Ambulance operate solely on donations from the public, and Adrian’s family and friends are fundraising to provide funds for this hugely vital service by taking part in the Belfast Marathon on 5th May this year.

If anyone would like to take part in this ‘Run for Adrian’, which is mainly sponsored by ‘City West Construction based in San Francisco USA which was established by Thomas Neeson, a former Moneyglass and Antrim footballer and a former close friend of Adrian
