Bryan J. Conlon

Bryan J. Conlon, 60, of Defiance, passed away unexpectedly Sunday, January 25, 2026, at his residence.

He was born December 9, 1965, to James and Madonna (Becher) Conlon in Defiance. Bryan was a 1985 graduate of Tinora High School and a member of St. John's Catholic Church in Defiance. In 1999, he married Sara SanGregory, and they had their two daughters together before separating in 2004. Bryan worked for over 26 years as an electrician at Webster Industries in Tiffin, where he affectionately earned the nicknames "Condor" and "Blue Boy". He was an avid fan of The Ohio State Buckeyes, Cleveland Guardians, and Cleveland Browns. Bryan had a true passion for farming, fishing, hunting, and working on his tractors. Above all, he loved being with his family and friends.

Bryan is survived by his loving parents, James and MaDonna Conlon; his daughters, Molly and Cassidy Conlon; and his brothers, Sean (Susan) Conlon and Sam Conlon.

He was preceded in death by his brother, Patrick Conlon.

A Celebration of Bryan's life will be Saturday, March 7, 2026, at Stiney's Three Oaks, 255 Second Ave, Tiffin. Family will receive friends from 12-3 p.m.
