The Family Tragedy That Changed Ronan Keating's Life Forever

Ciarán Keating (pictured above in a gray suit), the older brother of Ronan Keating, died in a tragic car accident in Ireland, Dublin on the afternoon of July 15, 2023. According to BBC, Ciarán and his wife Anne Marie were on their way to watch their son’s football match when they collided with another vehicle at Ballymiles town near Swinford in County Mayo. Both Anne Marie and the driver of the second car managed to survive the fatal crash but sustained serious injuries. Ronan, who was based in London, reportedly rushed to his family in Ireland after being informed of the shocking accident. Ciarán’s family later confirmed his passing in an official statement published by Her.

“It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden and tragic passing of Ciarán Keating. Dearly loved husband of Annemarie, devoted father of Conall, Ruairí, and Aisling, and adoring grandpa to Bobbi, May, Reggie, Archie T., and Sonnie,” they said. “He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by his family, his father Gerry, mother-in-law Claire, sister Linda, brothers Gerard, Gary, and Ronan, daughters-in-law Amilia, and Emily, Aisling’s partner Matthew, sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, nieces, nephews, and many, many friends. May His Gentle Soul Rest In Peace.” 

The family asked friends of Ciaran to donate to the Marie Keating Foundation. Ronan paid tribute to his late brother during a live concert in London.
