Martin (Mairtín Gibbons), who was part of the Ballintubber Abbey Choir, passed away on Tuesday in Mayo University Hospital.
A leading Mayo choir has led tributes in the wake of the passing of one of the group's longest-serving singers.
Yesterday (Tuesday, September 9), Martin (better known as Máirtín) Gibbons passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family in Mayo University Hospital.
Máirtín left behind a loving and caring circle, including his wife Anne, his siblings Bridie, Martine, and Francis, his extended family, and everyone who knew him from all walks of life.
One of the Creevagh native's biggest passions in life was music, and this shone through in his commitment to the Ballintubber Abbey Choir.
Máirtín was part of the choir since its 2012 inception, and he was ever-present as they provided wonderful musical accompaniment to many an occasion in the area.
The choir paid tribute to one of the cornerstones of their community in a statement on their Facebook page.
