Henry passed away peacefully on Wednesday 18th June, in St. James’s Hospital with family by his side after a long and valiant battle with cancer. He will be greatly missed by his wife Iona, children Alex, Henrietta, Wolfe, and Tamara, his brothers Patrick and Simon, family, friends, and all who knew and loved him - of which there are many.

The Conyngham family extend their heartfelt gratitude to the exceptional staff at St James’s Hospital, where Henry received stellar care over the past decade, and to all those who supported him with compassion, kindness and humour throughout his illness. They are also deeply moved by the outpouring of love and support following Henry’s passing.
