The recent passing of Paddy Higgins has signalled the end of another of the unique GAA characters throughout the length and breadth of Mayo and beyond. GAA supporters like Paddy, they were fiercely loyal to the cause of club and county, forever living the dream of bringing Sam back to Mayo or bringing a major title to their club. In essence,
Paddy was the supporter supreme who embodied the real spirit of the GAA, demonstrating a love for the games, a strong sense of loyalty, and an unwavering commitment to its values. 
l wish to extend my sympathy to his wife Teresa, sons P.J. and Michael, daughter Mary, and extended family members.

My sincere sympathy to Teresa, Michael, P J and Mary on the death of Paddy, a true and loyal Gael and lifelong Mayo supporter. I truly regret that this sad event occurred while I was out of the country and not in a position to attend his funeral, a funeral I would not have missed under any other circumstances. Paddy outlived most of his generation and those who remembered him in his prime but there are those who still remember him as an outstanding, all round sportsman who played Gaelic football at different levels; who was an accomplished handballer and even played hurling at County level when the occasion demanded. He had a fine singing voice and was a great entertainer who was appreciated far and wide. He was larger than life and will be greatly missed. Suaimhneas síorraí dá anam.
