FANNING, Paul

This week, the College lost a much-loved son of Iggy Park, Paul Fanning. He graduated from the College in 1978 and was the Business Manager of the College from 2008. His service to the College was greatly valued by staff, students and parents.

Paul was truly a man who emulated the spirit and charism of Blessed Edmund Rice, clearly understanding the power of education to open doors and change lives. So deep was his belief in Iggy Park that it was the chosen educational setting for his sons.

Paul's life reflected his deep commitment to his faith, always placing others before himself. His relationships both within the College and beyond, were characterised by his kindness, generosity, loyalty and authenticity. As such he was a wonderful role model for us all, but particularly for our young men at Iggy Park.

Paul will be so deeply missed by so many, as his is a life of great celebration, which has touched our hearts and created a bond that will remain beyond his physical presence. We have been blessed to share in his life story and to be enriched by the journey.

Blessed Edmund. Pray for us.

Live Jesus in our Hearts. Forever.
