John Gallagher Obituary

John S. Gallagher

John S. Gallagher, 59, of Findlay, passed away Saturday, Oct. 15, 2022.

He was born March 28, 1963, in Bowling Green, Ohio, to the late Alonzo "John" and Deanna (Leimgruber) Gallagher. John attended Patrick Henry High School.

He married Connie L. Bump on Nov. 23, 1985, and she survives along with two daughters, Ashley (Sam) Garcia and Lindsay Gallagher, both of Findlay; two sisters, Kay (Tom) Powell of Leipsic and Tina (Ken) Carles of Findlay; and three grandchildren, Julian, Anthony, and Jacob.

He was preceded in death by his daughter, Shelby Gallagher.

John was a wonderful and loving husband and father. He was hard-working, sometimes working multiple jobs and was a man of his own mind. He loved rock-and-roll music, watching auto racing, pinball, bowling, and his dog, Lucky.

A private family funeral will be at COLDREN-CRATES FUNERAL HOME and burial will be at Maple Grove Cemetery.

Memorial contributions can be made in memory of John to Bridge Home Health and Hospice.
