Ronan Keating has performed a musical tribute to his brother at his funeral mass. The former Boyzone star sang This is Your Song towards the end of the service.
Ciaran is survived by his three children, Conall, Ruairi and Aisling and grand-children, Bobbi May, Reggie, Archie T. and Sonnie. Before singing, Ronan Keating said his niece and nephews had made their dad “very proud”. Members of Cork City FC, which Ciaran’s son Ruairi plays for, as well as representatives of the Marie Keating Foundation cancer charity, were among the mourners. The Marie Keating Foundation was established in dedication to Ciaran and Ronan’s late mother who died of breast cancer aged 51.
Ciaran’s son, Conall Keating, gave the eulogy, beginning by stating that his mother and grandmother were watching. Conall spoke of the plans the family had for the future with their father. “The kids deserve to have him in their life much, much longer, and he was looking forward to that,” he said. “We wanted to go to an F1 with him, I wanted him to show me how to build a deck, Ruairi asked him to be best man at his wedding because he was his best friend and he had so much golf left to play.”He concluded the eulogy: “He was a great man and I am honoured to call him my dad.
