Lawrence McFadden Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Mar. 23, 2025.
Lawrence J. "Larry" McFadden, 71, passed away peacefully on March 17, 2025, at Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh. He was born on November 25, 1953, to the late Jack and Mary Kay McFadden.

Larry was a talented musician who played in several bands throughout his life, most recently with Mad Mac's Irish Band. He had a deep love for the outdoors and enjoyed camping and hiking. His passion for nature led him to serve as president of the Friends of Euclid Creek organization. He was also dedicated to mentoring young people as a Boy Scouts of America Scout Master in Lyndhurst.

He is survived by his sister-in-law Joann McFadden; siblings John (Jovi), Patricia (Lance), Bill (Debbie), and Paul (Heather); as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and their children. He also leaves behind cousins Samantha (Brent) McKinley and Kathy Aftoora, along with lifelong friends Fred Koepp, Bruce Biddle, and Jean Riley. Larry was preceded in death by his parents and his brother Mike.

A celebration of life will be announced in the coming weeks.

In Larry's memory, donations may be made to Friends of Euclid Creek, P.O. Box 21384, South Euclid, OH 44121, or Tri-County Animal Rescue at tricounty-arc.org.

Some of my fondest memories during my time knowing Larry were our occasional winter camping trips in Geneva with the guys. I'm lucky to have known him, and I'll always remember him as an amazing human being, musician, conversation partner, and friend. My deepest condolences to the family.

The McFadden family and the Hach family had strong ties, through our Glenbrook, Euclid connections. Our parents were friends, as were my brothers and I, with all of the McFadden family. A rich heritage that has lasted through half a century. Larry was always smiling and a very good guy. God Bless Larry and the McFadden family for our mutual loss.

We always enjoyed his Music and his humor starting way back at Earth by April in Cleveland Heights and his involvement with Boy Scouts and my son Mike prior to that. Hope he is entertaining his folks in Heaven.

Larry had become a dear friend in the relatively short time I knew him, and will be very much missed.
Godspeed, Larry
