Dennis M. “Denny” McGeady, 78, beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend, passed away suddenly on Wednesday, December 24, 2025, at Pottstown Hospital.
Born in Philadelphia, Dennis was the son of the late John and Rosemary (Brown) McGeady.
To those who knew him best, he was simply Pop — a warm, personable presence whose humor, stories, and genuine love for people left a lasting impression wherever life took him.
Dennis proudly served in the United States Army during the Vietnam War. He entered service as a E1 and was honorably discharged as a E5. For his bravery and sacrifice, he was awarded the Purple Heart and the Bronze Star, honors he carried with quiet pride. He later became a lifetime member of the Trappe VFW.
The oldest of five brothers, Denny took great pride in his family and in his education at St. Francis Proprietary School for Boys in Spring Grove, PA, where lifelong friendships were formed, and bonds were cemented that meant the world to him.
A truly social soul, Dennis never met a stranger. He loved being out in the community, often being the last one to leave, always ready for one more conversation. He treated everyone he met like a friend — and many became just that.
A die-hard Philadelphia Eagles and Phillies fan, Denny embodied the classic Philly spirit: passionately loyal, forever hopeful, and always prepared to declare the season over — only to be right back cheering the next game.
More than anything else, Dennis was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. He shared 53 loving years with the love of his life, Mary, whom he affectionately called his Kel. His greatest joy was his family, especially his grandchildren, who will forever cherish their memories with Pop.
Surviving along with his beloved wife, Mary of 53 years, is his son Shane McGeady, husband of Julie; daughter Kerry Scott, wife of Ian; brothers Thomas McGeady, Jack McGeady, husband of Chris, and Joseph McGeady, husband of Leslie; brother-in-law Carl, husband of the late Michael; grandchildren Kamden, Gabriel, Charlotte, Lily, Logan, and Aubrey; along with a large extended family and many dear friends.
A memorial service will be held on Wednesday, January 7, 2026, at 11:00 AM at Catagnus Funeral Home & Cremation Center, Ltd., 329 N. Lewis Rd., Royersford, PA 19468. Visitation will be held from 9:30 AM to 11:00 AM. Burial will be private.
