Conley Bartley

Conley Bartley, age 74, of Columbus, Ohio, passed away on March 7, 2026. Born on March 29, 1952, also in Columbus, he proudly served in the United States Navy before devoting more than forty years of his life to his craft as a block mason. His exceptional skill and the care he invested in every project left a lasting mark on the structures he built.

Those who knew him remembered his remarkable strength, determination, and quiet competence. To his family, he was simply the strongest man they had ever known.

He is survived by his daughters, Dawn, Connie, and Heather, many grandchildren and great-grandchildren, his brothers, his sister, and other loving family members. His legacy endures in the solid work of his hands, the open roads he traveled, and the lives of those who loved him.
