Donegal in mourning at death of well-known photographer Michael Jack O Donnell
Reporter: );
The great Michael Jack O Donnell died today at 4.30pm.
He was the King of sports snappers in Donegal and one of Ireland s best ever photographers, but you would never know.
He was grounded, feisty earthy, neither looked up or down on anyone and always knew who he was, a proud Ard Patrick, Naomh Conaill and Donegal man.
His passing will evoke a sense of huge loss and sadness among all who knew him, not just in is native Glenties, but far, far beyond.
His photographic collection of GAA related photographs is unparalleled in Donegal and he had a great knowledge of the game.
Michael Jack O’Donnell’s sad passing on Saturday afternoon will have hit hard and, hit many.
Michael’s immediate family and closest friends had battled with him these past number of years as he looked to fend off life’s greatest opposition – illness.
How fortunate we now were that he did manage, for a while at least, to get the upper hand in that battle and return to the sidelines he owned.

In a world and era now where authority, a piece of paper or a press card is the currency that entitles you to your own small piece of turf, Michael remained unique, different.
