Sincere condolences to all the family for your loss.
Mr. Fitzpatrick was an amazing teacher who I had the pleasure of being in his class the majority of my years in Templeleogue until I finished in 2002.
Always had time to have a word with everyone.
Never met a man more dedicated to his profession and to help students as much as possible.

I was shocked to hear the news, but I would like to say that Declan helped all of his students be the best they can be. Helped me come out of my comfort zone and I will always remember him for that.

Once in a lifetime people get to meet an amazing teacher like Declan. He was one of my favorite teachers I’ve ever had, he always had a smile on his face, he was always so caring and helped everyone in the class. I was always looking forward to attending his classes and seeing him read the Irish poems with great passion. I am truly sorry for your loss and I’m sending you and your family my deepest and most sincere condolences and may his soul rest in peace.
