It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Terry (Mick) Conlan. Mick was a fun-loving, kind-hearted soul who lived life to the fullest. He left this world on June 10, 2025 surrounded by his family, friends and beloved puppies sharing love and memories that will live on forever.
Mick was known for his big heart, sweet spirit, and zest for the outdoors. Whether riding down the open road on a motorcycle, camping under the stars, spending the day on a boat or soaking up the sun at the beach, he was never happier than when he was outdoors, surrounded by nature and the ones he loved.
Mick was a talented craftsman and builder and throughout his successful career and personal life, built many structures that will be a reminder of his legacy all around the country. Mick retired from the construction trade in 2023 as a well known, highly respected, senior project superintendent for multifamily and mixed use contractors. He mentored many throughout the years as he shared his knowledge of his trade.
At the center of his world was his beloved wife, Jennifer - truly soul mates in every sense. Their love was the kind that inspired those around them: patient, playful, and rooted in friendship and the deepest of mutual respect. Together, they built a life full of love, spontaneity, laughter, shared adventures and a lifetime of cherished memories.
He adored their three dogs, who were more than pets - they were family. Whether walking along the shore or curled up at home, those pups were always by his side, offering loyalty and love in return for the affection he so freely gave.
Those who knew Mick will remember his easy smile, generous heart, and ability to make anyone feel like family. He lived with a rare authenticity and gave so much of himself to others, always ready with a kind word or helping hand.
Though he left us too soon, his spirit will forever live on in the crashing waves, the winding roads, and the quiet campfires where memories continue to burn bright.
Mick is survived by his beautiful wife, his children, his sisters, many nieces & nephews, and his in-laws.
A celebration of life will be held on a later date, where friends and family are invited to share stories, laughter, and love in honor of a life so well lived. To send flowers to the family or plant a tree in memory of Terry, please visit our floral store.
