Loughran Sr., Michael C.

Michael C. Loughran Sr., 77, of Canton, entered into eternal rest peacefully on September 5, 2022, surrounded by his family.

Michael was born on March 11, 1945, in Canton to his parents Thomas and Adeline Loughran. He had five siblings. Michael leaves behind his wife, Patricia (Keady) Loughran, the love of his life after 54 years of marriage.

Michael was a Boston College High School and Boston College graduate. He was proud to be a “Double Eagle” and a faithful fan of BC football as well as New England sports. After teaching at Norwood Public Schools for many years, he attended Suffolk Law School where he graduated and practiced labor law, representing many municipalities in Massachusetts. He was a founding member of the law firm Collins, Loughran and Peloquin. He was active in town of Canton events and organizations and served for many years on the Canton School Committee.

Michael was active in St. John’s Church as a cantor earlier in his life and provided song for many weddings and funerals over the years. His voice was easily recognized and remembered and provided much happiness to all who heard him sing. Michael was an avid golfer. He was the captain of the BC High and Boston College golf teams. After his time at The Heights, he pursued his passion with the sport throughout his life. He was a member of Wampatuck Country Club and Norfolk Golf Club and was well known in the golfing community.

A true gentleman and scholar, Michael enjoyed discussing politics, history, and sports. He never raised his voice but had an art for presenting a convincing argument of his perspective. Michael would often host gatherings with his extended family, siblings and his nieces and nephews who he affectionally called the “Loughran Clan.”

A loving father of four, Michael leaves behind his daughter Michelle Sanders and her husband, Marc, of West Roxbury, his son Christopher Loughran and his wife, Pamela, his son Brian Loughran and his wife, Michelle, and his son Michael Loughran Jr. and his wife, Marie, all of Canton. In addition, Michael leaves behind 11 grandchildren (Kirsten, Matthew, Ryan, Brendan, Molly, Maddi, Emily, Owen, Mandi, Caitlin and his grandson Christopher, who is now joined in Heaven with his Papa).
