A beloved dad and husband who passed away suddenly while climbing Errigal mountain will be laid to rest in Lurgan this Friday.
Carl Henderson from Moira in Armagh, formerly of Ingleby Barwick, England, suffered a medical episode while hiking Donegal’s tallest mountain on Saturday.
A multi-agency operation was launched to airlift him to Letterkenny University Hospital, where he was sadly pronounced deceased.
Mr Henderson, a 48-year-old father of three, has close family links to the Gweedore area through his late mother-in-law, Maeve Ryan (née Greene) of Magheralosk, Gweedore / Darlington, who passed away last September.
Carl is survived by his wife Caroline and their three young children, Aibhilín, Rían, and Caoimhe, as well as his father-in-law, Patrick Ryan (Darlington).
Tributes to Carl describe him as a beloved husband, an incredible father and a true gentleman.
“His strength and care will continue to shape Caroline and their children, as they hold his memory close in the years to come,” said the obituary notice.
