Michael E. Hanrahan

Michael Edward Hanrahan, 79, of Rocky Point, passed away on December 1, 2025. He was born on August 23, 1946 in Brooklyn. After graduating from Massapequa High School in 1965, he studied marketing at Fordham University. Thereafter, Michael obtained a MBA in finance from St. John’s University. He went on to have a long and successful career in banking, working at reputable banks on Long Island including Security National, Chemical and NatWest, and HSBC and IDB in Manhattan.

Michael was fortunate to meet the love of his life, Ingrid, when they were teenagers and they married on May 31, 1969. Their union of 56 years produced five children and Michael was not only a steadfast husband and devoted father, but the proudest Opa of his seven grandchildren. He retired at 69, turning his attention to the pursuit of his many interests and hobbies, as well as spending time at his second home on the Potomac River in West Virginia. There, he loved boating and relaxing on the deck with his dogs, Sugaree and Snow. He also enjoyed traveling, including with a group from his church, and his last trip in September was a fun cruise to Bermuda.

Michael was predeceased by his parents, Michael and Irene Hanrahan, and his beloved son, Ryan. He is survived by his loving wife, Ingrid, and his children, Tara Stagg (Jeff), Christian Hanrahan (Jennifer), Heidi Hanrahan and Erin McNett (Eric). Also surviving him are his grandchildren, Kelsie, Olivia, Colin, Aidan, Krista, Evan and Isla. He additionally leaves behind his sister, Kathi Hanrahan, and brother, Tim Hanrahan (Donna).

A man of deep Christian faith, Michael moved through the world with kindness, compassion, good humor, and endless curiosity. He believed in hard work, personal responsibility, and giving back. He raised his children on these values, balancing high expectations with gentle, unwavering support. He loved books, music, a well-balanced ledger, good jokes, college sports, his swimming pool, ice-cream, and trains. We will miss him so much, but know he’s still with us.
