Mickey S. Monthony

Mickey Scott Monthony, beloved husband, father, and proud grandfather, passed away peacefully on Sunday, August 20th, 2023, at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, after a brief battle with Lymphoma. He was 67 years old. Born on May 18th, 1956, Mickey was the son of the late Clayton and Shirley Monthony. He grew up with his siblings, Joe Monthony, Laurie Sidebottom, Rob Monthony, Sandy Gagliardi, and Andy Monthony.

Mickey was a veteran of the U.S. Army. Mickey's thirst for knowledge led him to pursue a higher education, earning his Masters of Social Work at the University of Buffalo. He cherished this achievement and carried his love for helping others throughout his life. In addition to his devout Christianity, Mickey had many passions that brought him happiness and peace. He loved immersing himself in nature, whether it be through hunting, fishing, or taking tranquil walks along nature trails. An avid reader, he could often be found engrossed in multiple books and magazines, seeking knowledge and inspiration. Music held a special place in his heart, and he found solace in playing the guitar and singing. His favorite artists were Grateful Dead and Neil Young. Sports were another great love of his life, especially football and baseball. He cheered wholeheartedly for his beloved Buffalo Bills, “Let’s Go Buffalo!” and Florida Gators, “Go Gators!”, though he had also developed a fondness for the Red Sox, thanks to Diana. He had a distinguished sense of humor with an infectious laugh that brought joy to his family and all who were around.

He was a devoted husband to his beloved wife, Diana Monthony, who supported him through life's ups and downs. Mickey is also survived by his children, Jocelyn (Jeff) Wolcott, Jeremy (Melissa) Monthony, Nathan Monthony, and Emma Monthony. Mickey's greatest joy was being a father and watching his children grow into successful adults. In addition to being a loving father, Mickey adored his grandchildren, Lilly Monthony and JJ Monthony; he is also survived by his siblings, several cousins, nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents, his brothers Jon Donae and Rob Monthony, and his niece Mandy

A celebration of Mickey’s life will be held at a later date and time to be determined. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to the Lymphoma Research Foundation (lymphoma.org) or the National Alliance on Mental Illness - New Hampshire (naminh.org) in Mickey's memory. Arrangements are in the care of Bryant Funeral Homes, Berlin and Gorham, NH. Memories and condolences may be shared online at bryantfuneralhome.net.
