Bryan Conlon Obituary

DEFIANCE - Bryan J. Conlon, age 60, of Defiance, passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, January 25, 2026 at his residence.

He was born on December 9, 1965 to James and Madonna (Becher) Conlon in Defiance, Ohio. Bryan was a 1985 graduate of Tinora High School, and a member of St. John's Catholic Church in Defiance. Bryan worked for over 26 years as an electrician at Webster Industries in Tiffin, Ohio, where he affectionately earned the nicknames "Condor" and "Blue Boy". He was an avid fan of The Ohio State Buckeyes, Cleveland Guardians, and Cleveland Browns. Bryan had a true passion for farming, fishing, hunting, and working on his tractors. Above all he loved being with his family and friends.

Bryan is survived by his loving parents, James and MaDonna Conlon, his daughters, Molly and Cassidy Conlon, and his brothers, Sam Conlon and Sean (Susan) Conlon. He was preceded in death by his brother, Patrick Conlon.

Visitation will be held on Saturday, February 14, 2026 from 10:00 am to 11:00 am at St. John Catholic Church in Defiance. A Memorial Mass will follow at 11:00 am at the church, with Fr. John Stites officiating.
