MIchael Alexander Conolly, 73, of Springtown, passed away, Saturday, June 22, 2024 in Fort Worth.
He was born in 1951 in Midland, Michigan and raised in Louisiana. Michael was an avid LSU fan and loved baseball where he spent 40 years volunteering as a Little League umpire, first in NJ and PA and finally in Arlington. Michael spent his later years in Springtown with his beloved wife Susan and their pack of collies and shelties. When not mowing his lawn or umpiring a game, Michael liked to watch college sports, read cowboy novels, listen to Mott the Hoople, and drink coffee. Michael is preceded in death by the love of his life, Susan Conolly. Michael left us like one of those cowboys in his novels. At sunset, in search of another great adventure.
He leaves behind his two dogs, Lexi and Dougal; son, Ian, daughter-in-law Erika, and grandson Haggis.
As per Michael's wishes there will be no service.
The family asks that in lieu of flowers, people make a donation to Freedom Collie Rescue (https://www.freedomcollierescue.org/).
