Beloved father and grandfather Michael Andrew Conway, 68, of Shoreline, Washington passed away at home on October 4th, 2014. Mike was welcomed by his parents Commie and Edward Conway on August 4th, 1946. He grew up in Lacey, Washington and graduated from Thurston High School in 1964. Mike attended both Centralia College and St. Martins College before serving in the army in Vietnam.
Mike met Becky, his wife of 42 years, upon his return from Vietnam. Together they raised their two children Michelle and Rob in Centralia, Washington. Mike worked as an accountant for various companies over the course of his career, both in the Centralia area and eventually in the greater Seattle area. Upon retiring, one of Mike’s favorite pastimes was visiting his brother Jim and sister-in-law Pat in Sequim. More than anything, Mike enjoyed spending time with his three grandsons. Andrew, Rowan and Alex will greatly miss their adventures with their Grandpa Mike.
Mike is survived by his wife Becky; daughter Michelle and son-in-law Nick Strobel; son Rob Conway; grandsons Andrew Strobel, Rowan Conway, and Alex Strobel; siblings Cathy, Jim, Susie, Dennis, and Kelly; and numerous nieces and nephews. Mike was preceded in death by his parents Ed and Commie Conway and his brother Tom.
Becky, Michelle and Rob would like to thank Providence Hospice of Seattle for helping us make his last few weeks as comfortable as possible. Their support allowed the three of us to care for him at home and spend our remaining time together in a place full of wonderful memories.
A Celebration of Life will be held for Mike on November 2nd, 2014, at the Jacob Smith House in Lacey, Washington from 1-4:00pm.
