Benjamin Luke Mullany, to give his full name, was training to become a physiotherapist. No matter what work he did, it was always something that involved helping people. Ben served his country in the army and he was a police officer. He just wanted to help. His whole life had been geared towards his true calling: becoming a first class physiotherapist (because second best was never good enough in Ben’s eyes).

His life outside of work was always full of laughter and he never lived at less than one hundred miles per hour. Cath was the love of Ben’s life and he would pick nothing over spending time with her, but his love for rugby was well renowned and he would always make quality time for his friends and family. Ben’s values and optimistic outlook on life will carry on through everyone he ever met and he will be missed forever.

By Adam Mullany, Ben’s brother.
