Michael James Conroy

Our family is heartbroken for Liz, Mary, Zo, Luna and Leo. Mike was so full of love for his family, and cherished them so. He loved the outdoors and all the beauty that could be found in his travels with his family and colleagues. He and Liz recently had traversed the caves and mountains of New Mexico, and then for Valentine's day he treated his beloved Liz to a wonderful adventure in Guatemala. Mike also loved learning. One of my favorite videos is of Mike learning to play the trumpet (in his 70's!) while watching Luna. She appeared entranced by the gentle, melodious notes that Papa played for her. Rest in peace, dear brother-in-law, and may your shining light and love for your family continue to surround them and protect them, as you watch over them.

Dear Liz, Mary and family, Our hearts are saddened to hear of Mike's passing. Truly one of the kindest, talented, gifted and funny guys we knew. He will be sorely missed. Sending love and hugs to you all. Laura and Jim

As a distant colleague of Mike, being, as he was, a member of an international community of population biologists, I want to say how much we will miss him, his wisdom, his humor. All my sympathy to his family.

Liz, I'm sorry to hear of Mike's passing. He was a joyful, delightful soul. I'm wrapping my heart around you 💞
