Honoring Rory “Sly Dog” Connaghan

On July 21th, the world lost a kind and gentle soul. Rory Patrick Connaghan — lovingly known to many as “Sly Dog” — passed away after a long and courageous battle with a rare illness. Though his last few years were difficult, Rory met life with quiet strength, humor, and an open heart.

Rory was a friend to all. Whether you knew him for a moment or a lifetime, you knew his warmth. He had a way of bringing a smile to your face, simply by being himself.

Due to his illness, Rory was unable to work for the last couple years. As friends and loved ones, we want to ensure that he is given the dignity and care he deserves in his passing — a proper farewell for a man who meant so much to so many.

If you’re able, please consider making a contribution in Rory’s memory. No gift is too small. Your support will help cover essential end-of-life expenses and honor Rory the way he should be remembered — with love, respect, and grace.

Thank you for helping us celebrate a life that brought joy to so many.
