John Paul Somers, Merimbula—John Paul Somers, fondly known as "Seano," passed away unexpectedly this past Monday night, leaving his family and community in deep sorrow. Seano’s sudden death in his sleep has created a significant emotional void for those who knew him.
Seano was a proud and loving father, whose life was marked by his kindness and generosity. Born in Dublin, his larger-than-life personality and lion heart touched many lives across Merimbula, Gold Coast, Australia, and Ireland. He was known for his dedication to helping others, often doing "love jobs" just to bring smiles and relief to those around him.
Recently, Seano’s sons, Karl and Scott, shared a joyful conversation with him where he expressed pride in Karl’s new job and excitement about meeting his grandchildren. However, upon arriving in Merimbula to manage his affairs, they discovered that Seano had been struggling financially and had kept these struggles to himself. He left no will or savings, adding to the family’s grief as they face unexpected expenses related to his passing.
In addition to the financial burden, Seano left behind his beloved dog, Morky, who was a source of companionship and joy. Morky played a pivotal role in alerting a neighbor after Seano’s passing and led the family to where he was found. The Somers family is now seeking a loving home for Morky within the Merimbula community, hoping someone can provide the same care and attention that Seano did.
Karl Somers has organized a fundraiser to help cover the costs associated with Seano’s passing, including moving and cleaning his rented unit of ten years. As of today, $250 AUD has been raised towards the $10,000 goal, with donations from Adelle Somers, Liam Oshaughnessy, and an anonymous donor.
The Merimbula community has shown an outpouring of support, reflecting the love and respect they had for Seano. His family is deeply grateful for the kindness and assistance during this difficult time.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to the Somers family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you navigate this challenging period.
