Eamonn Deane: A Pillar of Peace in Derry | Belfast News
Description
Eamonn Deane, the beloved peace campaigner and community titan from Derry, has died at 80, leaving behind a legacy of reconciliation built on decades of tireless work through the Holywell Trust. A former teacher who witnessed Bloody Sunday, he turned personal trauma into a mission to unite divided communities, championing dialogue, education, and shared futures. Remembered as a giant of the community sector — visionary, principled, and deeply compassionate — his impact resonates in every young life he uplifted and every bridge he helped build. His funeral this Saturday at 1:30 PM will honor a man whose quiet courage reshaped Derry’s soul.
