Timothy John Conlen, 72, of Findlay, Ohio, passed away peacefully on June 13, 2025. He was born on July 2, 1952 in Flint, Michigan. He was the son of Russell and Gerry Conlen who predeceased him. He graduated from Flushing High School, received a bachelors degree in Business Administration from Ferris State University, and a Masters of Business Administration from Cleveland State University. Tim retired from American Greetings Company in 2001. He lived for many years in Avon, Ohio and relocated to Findlay in 2014 due to his ongoing battle with multiple sclerosis.
In his younger years Tim enjoyed water skiing and snow skiing. The summer after ninth grade he and three classmates went on a bicycling adventure to northern Michigan just wearing cutoff jeans and T-shirts and pedaling heavy Schwinn bikes.
Tim enjoyed spending time at his grandmother's farm in Michigan, and later with family at Lake Isabella.
Tim learned he had multiple sclerosis in 1982, and it was a slow progression of disability that finally took his life. He lived for five years at Birchaven Assisted Living, eventually transferring to long-term care.
Tim enjoyed the Cleveland Guardians and Cleveland Browns. He also enjoyed his afternoon "rope operas" (westerns) and Perry Mason.
Tim is survived by his brother Paul Conlen of Traverse City, Michigan, sister Marti Earhart (John) of Findlay, Ohio, niece Megan Earhart of Findlay, and several cousins. He was preceded in death by his sister Cathie Conlen in 2023.
Cremation has taken place. He will be interred at Flushing Cemetery, Michigan at a later date. Please consider a donation National Multiple Sclerosis Society (www.nationalmssociety.org).
We would like to thank the staff at Birchaven Skilled Nursing for their care and compassion.
A visitation will be held on Friday, June 20, 2025 at the Birchaven Village Chapel from 12-1 pm. A memorial service will follow at 1 pm with Deacon David Gerardi officiating.
