He was driven by love, fierce, loyal and protective love for his family and friends and country
It comes to all men in the end, but David Trimble’s death has left many floundering with the inevitability that even the fiercest fire can dampen and die.
One tribute in particular though, engulfed all the others in its simplicity and power, negating any unease. The Tory peer said: “In death [David] is finally being afforded the respect and love from all communities on this island that he deserves, and did not always receive in the height of his powers.
The news carried with it a sense of shock that Lord Trimble had succumbed to illness that robbed him so efficiently and cruelly of his energy, his plans for the future and finally his life. Former moderator of the Presbyterian Church In Ireland, the Very Rev Dr Charles McMullen reminded mourners of the sacrifice not just of Lord Trimble, but of his family, saying: “They gave him to us and we want to take this opportunity to express our deepest appreciation to them.
