Michael E. McGrath

Michael Emmett McGrath, age 76, of Atco, New Jersey, passed away peacefully on November 5, 2026, surrounded by his loving family.

He was the son of the late Joseph and Florence McGrath. Michael grew up in Haddon Township and graduated from Haddon Township High School in 1968.

Michael took great pride in running his own alarm business alongside his brother Dan for over 40 years. He was known for his unmatched work ethic and detailed design skills. Outside of work, he was a man of many hobbies. Although his interests varied over time, he loved playing competitive volleyball in his 30s, was a history buff, played guitar and sang, enjoyed golfing, and loved spending hours boogie boarding in the ocean. More than anything, he loved being a dad and a grandfather, never missing an opportunity to tell a good dad joke.

He is survived by his daughters, Stephanie (Dan) Ahearn, and Leslie (Rich) Heller; Sue McGrath; his cherished grandchildren, Colin and Dylan Ahearn; and his siblings, Joe McGrath, Patti Olsen, Daniel McGrath, and Mary McGrath and many nieces and nephews.

A Mass of Christian Burial to celebrate Michael's life will be held on Friday, November 13, 2026, at 11:00 AM at Our Lady of Peace Church, located at 32 Carroll Ave, Williamstown, NJ 08094. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in his memory to the Limbs for Life Foundation.
