Michael Gallagher Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Nichols Funeral Home - Wilmington on Dec. 28, 2025.
Michael J. Gallagher, age 43, of Wilmington, passed away on December 26, 2025.

Michael was born on October 23, 1982, in Winchester, MA. He was the cherished son of Grace (Gallagher) Roscillo and the late Robert Roscillo. Raised in Wilmington, Michael was a graduate of Wilmington High School with the Class of 2001.

For many years, Michael worked for Cushing Amusements, where he truly enjoyed his work and the camaraderie of his co-workers. He took pride in helping provide fun and memorable experiences for countless families.

Michael had a passion for NASCAR and was an avid fan who loved watching races and following racing statistics. This hobby brought him great joy and was something he eagerly shared with others.

Michael was a devoted brother to Robert Roscillo and Jessica Roscillo, and a loving uncle to Dominic, Nicholas, Damian, and his "little princess," Gabriella. He held his family close to his heart and treasured time spent with them.

He was the beloved grandson of Eric Gallagher and the late Eileen Gallagher; nephew of Eric Gallagher, Sidney and Cindy Foster, and Robert and Ethel Foster. Michael is also survived by his cousins Alison Foster, Aimee Foster, the late Stephen Foster, Robert Foster, Brian Foster, Tracey Foster, and Peter Sweet. He will also be deeply missed by his faithful companion, his baby chihuahua, Cleo.

A Celebration of Michael's Life will be held at a later date.
