The town of Belmar is mourning the loss of one of its cherished residents, Mickey McMahon, who passed away on Monday, June 10, 2024, at the age of 49. Mickey, born on October 18, 1974, leaves behind a legacy of kindness, community spirit, and an unyielding zest for life.
Mickey was a lifelong resident of Belmar, where he was known and loved by many. His deep connection to the town was evident in his daily interactions and the numerous contributions he made to the community. Mickey attended Belmar Elementary School and later graduated from Manasquan High School, where he was an active participant in various sports and extracurricular activities.
After high school, Mickey pursued a career in carpentry, a trade that allowed him to combine his love for working with his hands with his passion for helping others. He was a master craftsman, known for his meticulous attention to detail and his dedication to his work. Many homes and businesses in Belmar bear the mark of his skilled handiwork, serving as lasting testaments to his craftsmanship.
Mickey was not just a talented carpenter; he was also a dedicated community member. He was actively involved in local events and initiatives, always willing to lend a helping hand wherever it was needed. Whether it was volunteering at the annual seafood festival, coaching youth sports teams, or organizing neighborhood clean-up days, Mickey's presence was a constant and reassuring fixture in Belmar.
Friends and family remember Mickey as a man with a heart of gold. He had an infectious smile, a quick wit, and a generosity that knew no bounds. He was a devoted son, brother, and friend, always putting others before himself. His kindness and warmth touched the lives of everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.
Mickey had a deep love for the ocean, often spending his free time fishing, surfing, or simply enjoying the tranquility of the beach. His connection to the sea was a reflection of his free spirit and his appreciation for the simple joys in life.
As the community of Belmar comes to terms with this profound loss, there is comfort in the many memories shared with Mickey. His life, though cut short, was filled with love, laughter, and a genuine commitment to making the world a better place, one small act of kindness at a time.
Mickey McMahon is survived by his parents, siblings, and a large extended family, all of whom will miss him dearly. A memorial service to celebrate Mickey's life will be held at St. Rose Church in Belmar on Saturday, June 15, 2024, at 10 AM. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Belmar First Aid Squad, an organization close to Mickey's heart.
Mickey McMahon's legacy of love, generosity, and community spirit will live on in the hearts of all who knew him. He will be deeply missed but never forgotten. Rest in peace, Mickey.
