Micheál Sheridan passed away after a brief battle with cancer

A fundraiser has been set up for the family of a “selfless” Limerick man, who helped others all his life.

Micheál Sheridan, the late CEO of Mercy University Hospital Foundation, fought a brief but courageous battle with cancer.

Originally from Ballycahill, Knocklong, Co Limerick, Mr Sheridan passed away on June 4, in the presence of his loving family.

A GoFundMe campaign has been set up for his four sons, Éanna, Rían, Finn and Caelán.

“Micheál's life was a testament to selfless service, as he dedicated himself to raising funds for those in need. His contributions to the ISPCC, Special Olympics Ireland, Critical, and Mercy University Hospital Foundation have touched the lives of countless individuals, providing support during their darkest hours and establishing charitable initiatives that will endure for years to come,” said organiser, Ed Hurrell, on the GoFundMe campaign.

“Micheál worked tirelessly all his life to help people in some of the most difficult times in their lives. We want to come together to support his family at this time. Nothing was more important to Micheál than his family—his wife Claire and their four sons Éanna, Rían, Finn and Caelán.”

“This GoFundMe page has been set up to support his sons' education in the coming years. As a Dad myself, I know nothing is more important than knowing that your family has all they need.”
