Rest in peace Johnny you will be dearly missed. Johnny touched my life in a way I will never forget and was there for me through tough times. Johnny is an inspiration to us all, he lit a room he entered and I am so glad to have met him and honored to have had him in my life. Sending my deepest condolences to his family.

I remember Johnny starting the running club up in Virginia farm. I played football and I was not into running (a bit lazy)but I admired from a distance the dedication Johnny put into his sport and how he encouraged a group of kids who wanted to do something different other than play football. There was very little else available back then in Tallaght and he nurtured many of the young people to aim high . A true sportsman and a legend of Tallaght . Sincere sympathy to the family . Gone but never forgotten.

So sad to hear the news of Johnny 😢
He was such a gentleman. I have so many memories of him when I was in FAS in Newmarket. He taught me so much about life that I took on board over all the years and I thank Johnny so much for all the words of wisdom and advice he gave me. He made me a better person the person I am today. Thinking of all Johnny’s family at this sad time. He always spoke so highly of his family. RIP Johnny you will be sadly missed by everyone ❤️❤️❤️ xxx

Sincere sympathy and condolences to the Fox family and Tallaght Athletic Club. Johnny will be truely missed by so many and remembered for his dedication to the community he loved and shaped. May Johnny rest peacefully.

RIP Johnny big part of my younge days moving to Tallaght early 70s and running with you in your club..i was the 1 that ran with no spikes r runners cross country in bloody snow bear feet..Tallaghts Zola Bud...great man....

Rest in peace Johnny You did more running than Forest Gump. You thought me so much about life.. Your mantra was Healthy body Healthy mind. I've tried to carry that through my life. Had a few blips along the way. Condolences to your lovely family. Hope you'll guide me from above 🙏🙏🙏

Sincere condolences to Johnny's family.Joined Johnny"s running club back in 1983.Enjoyed runs and training with him.A man of a great love of athletics and great wit.R.I.P.

When my daughter, Olivia Tyrrell expressed an interest in running about 8 years I was told to go to the track at Tallaght and ask for Johnny. I can honestly say that I had never met anyone like this man. He took my daughter under his wing, he nurtured and encouraged her. He radiated warmth and kindness. He only ever spoke words of encouragement and I was truely touched by his gentle ways. Olivia learned so much about running but more importantly, she learned the value of giving, of kindness and of respect. Johnny was a true gentleman . We are lucky to have known him .
The Tyrrell Family, Clondalkin.

Deepest sympathy to Gertie and all Johnny's sons daughters and extended family... I worked with Johnny in the 80s in Bohernabreena Waterworks May Johnny rest in peace ..

As a fellow runner from the Northside Raheny Shamrocks and then studying with Johnny for first time Youth and Community work we had alot in common on the road running front.

It was 1990,s and he wanted to develop running in Tallaght its nice to see with others he developed Chuculainn A.C.

A lovely man that always came across in our class with no airs or graces just wanted to see change happen through running in improving lives in his community.

Rest in peace Johnny Keep Running Up There a lovely man.

My prayers and sympathy are with you Gertie and family. Johnny was one of this lifes gentlemen. He lived his life caring for you Gertie and for his dear family and had so much time to give to others.
