Funeral costs for Leeson O'Keeffe

As many of you will know by now, Leeson O’Keefe recently died after a short but intense fight with cancer. Leeson was formally diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer earlier this year but by the time the test results came in it was clear that his days were numbered.

In true Leeson style, he decided to keep the bad news to a close circle of family and friends and set his sights on performing as long as he had the breath in him to hold a tune. He played one last full-band gig with his beloved Neck in late February but it was fitting that his final show was on stage in Trafalgar Square on St Patrick’s Day. Confined to a wheelchair, he sang one last tune alongside a choir of his fellow countrymen and women.

Leeson leaves behind a son Conor and a daughter Lakota, who now need our help to cover the expenses of giving Leeson the send-off he deserves. Alongside this, Conor and Lakota had both stepped back from work to care for their Dad in his final weeks, which has taken it's toll on their finances.

Funeral costs are eye-wateringly high and we ask that you give whatever you can to help with this.
