Jarveys in the town are mourning the passing of Denis ‘Donie’ Tangney who passed away following an illness.

Donie, aged 67, was laid to rest in Killarney Burial Ground, Knockeenduve on Thursday last.
He was a member of the well-known local family who have run Killarney Jaunting Cars for five generations.

The company is currently being run by Donie’s older brother Michael Sr. He had been employed by the family firm all his working life and entertained thousands of visitors to the Killarney region over the years.

“My grandfather was a gamekeeper in the national park when it was operated by the landlords so anything to do with fishing, hunting or rowing in the park and Donie was involved in it,” his nephew Micheal Jr. told The Killarney Advertiser this week.

“He was involved in the local FCA as a young man, but he was a jarvey all his life. We are a fifth generation jarvey family and my uncle was part of this tradition all his life.”

Donie was originally from the Ross Road but lived in Ballyspillane for a lot of his life too.

He is survived by his children, Valerie, Bryan and Ivan, their mother Geraldine, son-in-law Michael Lenihan, daughter-in-law Hazel and Ivan's partner Sinéad, his grandchildren Conor, Sarah, Liam, Noah, Summer, Aria and Mason, brothers Michael, Kevin, Billy and Seán, sisters Marion, Kathleen and Rose.
