Jeffrey Joseph Conway passed away on March 2, 2026 at the age of 70.
Jeff was a devoted husband, father, brother, and friend whose steady strength and quiet loyalty defined his life. He met Robin in 1981, and what began as friendship became a love story spanning more than four decades. They were married in 1987 and built a life grounded in love, resilience, and unwavering commitment.
Professionally, Jeff held executive leadership roles with GTE, Toshiba, and later Brother International. He was respected for his integrity and leadership, but he chose family over prestige, and his greatest pride was always at home.
Jeff was a "projects guy." Whether rebuilding cars, transforming houses into homes, or planning the next adventure, he was happiest with something to build, improve, or bring to life. In his youth, he volunteered training Seeing Eye dogs, a reflection of the same care and patience he brought to everything he built throughout his life. He was a proud father to Ryan and Patrick, sharing with them his love of travel, motorcycles, and building cars. He welcomed Ryan's partner, Chani, and her son, Michael, into the family with warmth, and he adored Patrick's wife, Macie.
He is survived by his wife, Robin; his sons, Ryan and Patrick; Ryan's partner, Chani, and her son, Michael; Patrick's wife, Macie; his sister, Jean; and many extended family members and dear friends.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Jeff's memory to The Seeing Eye, an organization dedicated to breeding, raising, and training guide dogs for the blind.
