Known for his modesty and down-to-earth nature, Christy was equally at ease performing at small intimate gigs and packed venues. He was a generous supporter of numerous charity events, often visiting the bedsides of his fans who were ill. Christy’s absence creates an irreplaceable void.
Christy is survived by his beloved wife Kathryn, daughter Kiera, grandchildren Cian, Ava, and Jake, son-in-law Darren Moran, siblings Bernadette, Deirdre, James, Brian, Therese, Jackie, and Eddie, extended family, fellow Aslan members, neighbors, friends, and all those who knew and loved him.
The funeral procession for Christy will arrive at a playing field opposite Erin’s Isle GAA Club just before 10 am on Saturday morning. A video tribute will be played in his honor.
