We are very sorry to share news of the death of David Wynne who has served the United Dioceses of Dublin and Glendalough and Christ Church Cathedral for many years. He also served as the Secondary Education Committee’ Grants Administrator for 12 years.

His funeral service will take place on Friday morning, July 3, at 10.30am in Sandford Parish Church (see details on RIP.ie https://rip.ie/death-notice/david-wynne-dublin-rathmines-635018 ).
Archbishop Michael Jackson has paid tribute to David.
“I am very sad to learn of the death of Mr David Wynne. On my own behalf and on behalf of the United Dioceses I extend my sympathy to Margaret and to Shirley and to everyone who has known David in a number of interlocking circles of friendship and work over the years.
“David was devoted to the Church of Ireland, to his parish and to the cathedral. Few can ever forget his clear and faithful way of reading the Scriptures and his deliberate way of approaching the Lectern.
“David served the Church of Ireland through his secretaryship of the SEC; through membership of the Diocesan Councils and Diocesan Board of Patronage; through membership of the Friends of Christ Church Cathedral Committee and in countless other ways – many of them simply by turning up and being there at church based events.
“In recent years he bore sadness and illness nobly and with a determination to participate, to be engaged and to travel – often against the odds.
“Countless people miss David and we rejoice that Almighty God has taken him to himself in a kindly way while we mourn with Margaret and Shirley in these days of loss.
“I shall miss him greatly for his loyalty, his friendship and his conversation.”
