A 79-year-old man, Jamie Wrenn, died in Kerry on Wednesday. Jamie had been very ill 17 years ago with cancer and as a result of that experience he organised a walk from Castlegregory to Tralee every year. He wanted to show his gratitude for the kindness he received. The walk has taken place for the last seven years and raised over 100,000 euro for oncology in Kerry.
Jamie was a most gentle man, who always had a kind word to say. He loved animals.
He was slight in build and spent 30 years on the buildings in England.
On the walk to Tralee every year he led the walk, driving his horse and cart. It was a day's adventure and the group of people on the walk enjoyed every metre of the 30 km trek.
On arrival in Tralee there were refreshments in a local hostelry. To see the light in Jamie's eyes on arrival in Tralee was a great blessing from God. He was a frail man, slight in build but a mighty man to organise and arrange such an event in West Kerry. He did it to say thank you.
It has been a great privilege to meet and get to know Jamie Wrenn.
I hope he is praying for all of us in heaven.
