Barrie pictured top with his wife Emma at the Bet McLean League Cup Final and bottom with his father Johnny and young son Alfie.
Just a couple of weeks ago this smiling chap ( pictured top right and middle bottom ) was absolutely over the moon as his wee Club Dungannon Swifts had only gone and won their first Major Senior trophy after many years of following the club.
Today we bring the utterly devastating news to you all that unfortunately he ( Barrie ) passed away suddenly this morning as the result of a road traffic collision.
Barrie Meneely was the life and soul of every game as a supporter of DSFC. He enjoyed the ‘banter’ with home and away fans and many people will recognise him even if they didn’t know him. His young son, Alfie, lead the Swifts team out on the pitch as mascot at the Bet McLean League Cup Final v Ballymena. This was an extremely proud moment for Barrie and his wife Emma watching their wee man beaming with pride.
Barrie was a proud and delighted Swifts fan that day, with his beloved club winning their first major trophy and also Alfie being a mascot brought him even more joy.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends, especially to his wife Emma and three children, Alex, Charlotte and Alfie and to his father Johnny who attended all Swifts games with him, his mother Noeleen and sister Toni.
