Patrick P. Conway

Patrick P. Conway, lovingly known as “Patrick Cool Conway” and Booger to his family , suddenly passed away on November 4, 2026, in the comfort of his home.

Born and raised in South Philadelphia, Patrick was the beloved son of Peter Conway and the late Rosemarie (nee Fee) Conway, Sr.

Patrick was a self-taught musician who proudly played the guitar, drums and harmonica even doing neighborhood gigs with friends. He loved listening, playing and making music. Patrick especially enjoyed teaching his nieces and nephews how to play the guitar and drums. Music was a true passion of his and a wonderful way he connected with the people around him.

Patrick enjoyed the outdoors and the simple pleasures of life. He loved camping, fishing, and taking trips to the Wildwoods, especially staying at the Malibu Motel. He was a proud American who had a deep respect and appreciation for the military. Patrick was equally proud of his Irish and Indian heritage. In his younger years, Patrick enjoyed riding BMX and dirt bikes.

A true South Philadelphia tradition was also close to Patrick’s heart. He loved the Mummers Parade and proudly marched in the parade for many years, even after courageously fighting through numerous medical obstacles, creating countless memories along the way.

Patrick will be remembered for his independent spirit, his love of music, his Irish pride, and the friendships and memories he made throughout his life.

Loving brother of Suzette (Shawn) Henderson, Tracey, Melissa, and Michael, and the late Peter Paul Conway, Jr. Proud and beloved uncle of Maranda, Robert, Jessica, Peter, Shawn Jr., and Savannah, and great-uncle of Justin and Matteo.

Patrick will be sadly missed by his many aunts, uncles, cousins, and all those who knew and loved him.
