Conor McCarthy, 41, departed this earth too soon.
From camping under starlit skies to casting lines in the surf, Conor's love for the outdoors was a constant source of joy. Sundays spent at the beach, cool nights around the fire and Friday pizza with his family were the moments he treasured most. His affinity for motorcycles took him on countless journeys, each ride a story and every road paved with the freedom he craved.
An old soul with a love for unique antiques, Conor was a collector who valued the stories behind each piece. He found solace in the crackling warmth of vinyl records and the discovery of new music. His evenings were often spent with good beer in a pint glass, accompanied by the melodies that spoke to his heart.
Conor grew up in Norwood, PA and graduated from Interboro High School. It's there that he found his passion for soccer. He loved the game and was so happy to coach his children on the pitch. Graduating from Williamson Trade School with a focus on carpentry, he honed his skills with dedication and passion.
Conor leaves behind his beloved wife, Ashleigh McCarthy (Porter), and their cherished children Lachlan James, Rowan Gail and Waylon Edward.
Conor was loved. Truly loved by his own family, his in-laws, and the friends he made along the journey. He had a special place in his heart for the Wallaces, too.
He is predeceased by his loving parents James and Helen McCarthy. Conor's love for family was unwavering, his pride in his Irish heritage deeply rooted. All values he attributes to his late father.
Conor will always be deeply loved and forever missed.
Conor's life will be celebrated on Tuesday, May 7th, at Cavanagh Family Funeral Home | 301 Chester Pike in Norwood, with visitation from 9-11 am and a service to follow at 11. Interment is private.
In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the McCarthy kids fund. Email [email protected] for details.

Anytime you read an obituary, it´s sad of course. But this one. This isn´t supposed to be the one I´m reading. Conor, Conye...I miss you so much. You were so welcoming to me the first time I met you and even when you let all of the ants eat the hundreds of dollars of Traubs I brought you, all we could do was laugh. You would come over any time you were close by and Wes and I made a point to come visit you guys as well. And each visit was just better than the last....even if it rained all weekend and we just had to sit in and watch BBQ Showdown. Thank you for being you. Thank you for being so happy for us at our wedding when you knew how stressful it was for us. Thank you for always being so supportive of Wes and I. And thank you for all of the memories. I love you so much Conye. I´ll never forget you.
