William Henry Conlon, V

UPDATED CELEBRATION OF LIFE William Henry Conlon, V, known affectionately as "Willy" and “Uncle Wee” to family and friends, passed away unexpectedly on March 25, 2025, in Providence, Rhode Island at the age of 39.

Born on June 16, 1985, at Pawtucket Memorial Hospital in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, Willy grew up learning the art of finish carpentry from his father, eventually establishing himself as a self-employed carpenter.

Willy was known for his free spirit and zest for life.

He embraced adventure with open arms, living boldly and enjoying life's pleasures.

He had a profound love for the outdoors, finding joy in camping beneath starry skies, dancing at music festivals, swimming in cool waters, hiking wooded trails, and nurturing his garden.

His creative spirit shone through in both his professional craftsmanship and personal pursuits.

Willy's vibrant personality and love for celebration brought energy and humor to every gathering.

He is survived by his daughter, Lillian Eve Desper; his parents, William Henry Conlon and Renee Andrea Filiault Conlon; his sisters, Kelsie Conlon and Jennifer Conlon Wagner; his niece, Alexia Wagner; nephews, Brett Wagner and Joseph; and his long-time partner, Maris Haynes.

He also leaves behind many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends who will cherish his memory.

Willy was predeceased by his brother, Curtis Conlon.

Willy's sudden passing reminds us of life's fragility and unpredictability.

His warm presence, skilled hands, and adventurous spirit will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

His craftsmanship lives on in the beautiful details of countless homes, just as his memory lives on in the hearts of those who love him.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, April 12, 2025 at 11:30 am at the American Legion Hall, 830 Willett Ave., Riverside, RI 02915.
