Tributes have been paid to 'a true Newbridge man' from Kildare who passed this week.

Vincent Ferrer Brady passed peacefully on March 12 2025 in the wonderful care of the nurses and staff of Suncroft Lodge Nursing Home.

Vincent – late of Irish Rail – is predeceased by his parents Paddy & May, brother Ciaran, sister-in-law Bridget, brother-in-law Tom Kennedy.

He is deeply regretted by his loving sisters Dympna (Kennedy), Mary (Brett), and brother Justin, brother-in-law Noel, sister-in-law Olive, nieces and nephews, cousins, relatives and friends.

May Vincent Rest in Peace.

Heartfelt tributes paid on RIP.ie this week included: “We are very saddened and extend our deepest sympathies to Dympna, Justin and Mary. Vinny was a long-time friend... a gentleman and always friendly. He was a great supporter of all local history projects and especially helpful with his design and photographic expertise for various publications. Vinny was a true Newbridge man and will be missed. May he now rest in peace.”

And: “My deepest sympathy to Vincent's family and friends. I knew him through the Newbridge photography club where he was admired for his photographic skills and ability to sensibly critique an image for competition purposes. He will be missed, but will live on in our shared memories for a long time to come. Rest in Peace.”

While another mourner wrote: “An absolute & true gentleman, blessed to have known you. As well as our paths crossing in Irish Rail Inchicore works I have very fond memories of our paths crossing in our weekly commuting to and from the works. Always a smile. Condolences to his family. May you rest in peace.”

And another added: “Sincere sympathy to Dympna, Mary and Justin and the extended Brady family on the death of Vincent. May he rest in peace. The Brady family are a lovely family and were great neighbours of my father (Mick Collatin) in Rowan Terrace many years ago. May those who mourn Vincent find comfort in their loving memories of him and in the support and comfort of one another at this sad time.”
