It is with heavy hearts that we announce the unexpected passing of our beloved husband, father, Papa and friend, Merlin Thomas Corcoran IV, of Littleton, Colorado, on February 9, 2025, at the age of 46. Merlin was a devoted husband, a loving father to five children, and a proud Papa to three grandchildren. His presence in our lives brought warmth, love, and adventure that will forever be cherished.
Merlin was a man who found peace and joy in the stunning natural beauty of Colorado. He had a deep passion for the outdoors, spending many cherished moments hiking fourteeners with his children and friends, making memories that will last a lifetime. The mountains held a special place in his heart, and it was in the great outdoors where he felt truly alive. He was always eager to share his love for the outdoors and life's simple pleasures.
He leaves behind his loving wife, Danielle, their children: Andrew and his wife Mykaela; Mackenzie Nikole; Genevieve; Mackenzie Kaitlyn; and Connor. Three grandkids that brought him immeasurable joy, Mylania (4), Westin (3) and Ayla (2). He is also survived his by his father, Peter (Maureen), sisters Elisha (Henry), Tina (Nick), Angela (David), Shannon (Ryan) and brothers Joe (Heather) and Jimmy (Jordan) along with many friends and family that loved and cared about him.
Merlin's legacy lives on in the hearts of his family, whose lives he touched deeply. Though we mourn the loss of a wonderful husband, father, and grandfather, and friend we take comfort in the memories of his adventures, laughter, and the profound impact he had on each of us.
A private memorial service will be held in his honor, details to be shared with family and close friends.
