Heartbroken Ballymacarbry community to bid a sad farewell to brave Danny

Arrangements have been announced for the funeral service for Danny Norris, the seven-year-old boy who passed away on Friday morning surrounded by his loving family after his brave battle against cancer.

Danny spent his last few days at home after his parents Lar and Lisa forced the HSE to provide palliative care for Danny at his home. This allowed Danny to be brought home to Glasha, Ballymacarbry from Crumlin.

He is pre-deceased by his Grandad Larry Norris & Great-Grandad Jack McHugh. Beloved son of Lar and Lisa, he will be sadly missed by his heartbroken parents, older brothers Charlie & Shay, grandparents Nellie Norris and Louis & Myra (Jill) Sandvoss, great-grandmother Maura McHugh, uncles Jonathon, Tommy, Brian, Paul and Adrian, aunts Kay, Niamh, Nicola and Viv, Godfather Michael, cousins Alec, Roisin, Sinead, Brid, Jack, Mia, Willow and Daragh, “godcousins” Tristan, Ava, Sam, Mikey, Cara and James, extended family and many friends, especially his classmates in Ballymacarbry National School.
