Dearest Kerin, you can now rest. Illness ravaged your last years, yet, the very full life you lived was kinder, gentler, more meaningful and richer than most. Just read your tributes mate! Karen, my darling friend, allow us all to hold you in our minds, and arms, now and over the months and years to follow. Your loss has been and is enormous and many of us love you and will be there for you. Dan and Sarah, Thomas, Harry and Annabel, you have lost a father, father in law and grandfather who was a magnificent human being and leaves a legacy of which you can all be so proud. I am so sorry for your loss. Em and Cam, you will have much to tell and show your little one to be, about Kerin, the loving father, the amazing, gentle, thoughtful, funny man, teacher, intrepid traveller and inspiring person who was Kerin. I am so sorry for your loss. Roger. What a difference you made, my little canine friend, to Kerin’s last years and the entire Glennen clan. You served Kerin well and deserve every romp in the park and doggie treat you get. You loved Kerin well and will remained loved by Karen and Kerin’s children and grandchildren.

Dear Karen, Em, Dan and Families,
We had the honour of looking after Kerin over the past 8 years, at Royal Melbourne Hospital. We are so very sad to hear that he passed away unexpectedly and send our condolences to Kerin’s family and friends. Kerin’s warmth, humour, kindness and gentle nature will be missed by all. We will also miss seeing his amazing array of colourful patterned socks!
Karen and Kerin, thank you for your tireless efforts to support other families living with Young Onset Dementia. Your contributions across a wide range of projects has been vital to improve the process of diagnosis and care. We are particularly grateful for your lived experience, wisdom and expertise on the Better Care Victoria Young Onset Dementia Telehealth Innovation Project (BRIGHT-YOD) and the Neuropsychiatry Consumer and Carer Advisory Group. Thank you for supporting our YOD Spartan efforts and for helping us understand how to improve our skills and care when providing support for people living with dementia. Your advocacy, passion, drive and dedication has been outstanding and an inspiration to our team.
Karen, the way you looked after Kerin with such love, attentiveness, kindness, compassion and strength was a privilege for us to watch from afar. He could not have asked for a more loving partner, who was by his side at all times, right until the end. Thank you for showing us what great care looks like.
Kerin, may you rest in peace. Karen – our thoughts are with you all.
The Neuropsychiatry Team, Royal Melbourne Hospital.
