Thomas G. Conway Jr., a cherished husband, father, grandfather, brother, and uncle, passed away on July 14, 2025, at the age of 77. Born on September 11, 1947, he lived a life marked by love, dedication, and an adventurous spirit.

Thomas was a devoted family man who found immense joy in the company of his beloved wife, Kay Conway, with whom he shared a beautiful marriage of 40 years. He had four children: Jackie (Ben) Bebenroth, Keri (Dan) Druso, Jessica (Jen) Smith, and Abby (Mitch) Balazs. He took great pride in being a grandfather to his five adoring grandchildren: Sidney, Burke, Evan, Owen, and Lizzy, each of whom brought light and laughter into his life.

He is also survived by his sister, Kathy (Dan) Holbrook, as well as nieces Danielle (Josh) Roberts and Kristen (Rob) Walls, who will carry on his memory through the love and stories they share.

Thomas had a passion for the outdoors and made the most of every opportunity to engage with nature. He enjoyed hunting and fishing, pursuits that allowed him to connect with the beauty of the world around him. In addition, he embraced the thrill of gambling, often sharing tales of his adventures and experiences with family and friends.

Thomas is preceded in death by his parents, Tom and Toni Conway, who inspired his strong values and nurturing spirit. Their legacy lives on through the family he built and the memories he created.

As we remember Thomas G. Conway Jr., we celebrate a man who exemplified integrity, love, and compassion. His presence will be deeply missed, but his spirit will forever remain a guiding light for all who knew him.
