Thank you all so much for the overwhelming amount of help, practical support and love you we have been given over these last few weeks. It’s a testament to how loved dad was that you are all so willing to offer your time and energy to us when we need it.

We’ll be having a proper wake in Ballina and Enniscrone when it’s safe to do so, and will give dad a proper send off when we can all hug, drink and sign together again. We hope you’ll join us.

We hope those of you not able to come to the ceremony will be able to tune in to the live stream. Please also feel free to add thoughts, memories and pictures to this memorial webpage, and let’s remember a truly brilliant man the best we can.

We always remember Brendan as a family man. He would travel to see his Auntie Kitty when on her many visits to Hospital . He would always cheer her up. It was always good to see both Brendan and Chris to the various gigs we went to in London. He was always enthusiastic I know how much he will be missed by Debbie Liam Amy and sad he will not see Eva Hope grow. Our Thoughts are with you all Eddie & Babs

Brendan, I will forever cherish the memories of your ability to light up a room by bursting into song at the earliest opportunity. You always knew how to lift spirits, even in the darkest of times. You brought so much joy to so many people and I hope the Jakubiszyn-Cottrell family bond will continue over the years to come. May we one day bellow Bohemian Rhapsody together again. All our love to you and all the family. Danny, Becky & Thea

Brendan was always so welcoming and open-hearted. He treated everyone with such warmth and kindness and had a rare ability of being able to make you feel special. The impact he had in his lifetime will ripple on and on. We’re both so grateful to have known him, and our thoughts are with his family and everyone who is mourning his passing.

Paschal Preston16 Jan 2021

Condolences to all the Cottrell family and their loved ones on the Brendan’s sad passing. I have not seen Brendan or most of his siblings for many year (apart from Dennis — a very good neighbour to our mother). But I do have lots of fond memories of the younger Brendan, like playing games etc with Chris, Brendan and all the gang on their many visits to their gran, aunt and uncle St Muredachs Tce. Our very best thoughts and wishes are with you all after Brendan’s sad passing amidst the strange and unhelpful setting of this pandemic. May he rest in peace! Paschal Preston
