Michael Nolan, 56, of Middletown, died on Wednesday, November 12.

Michael was born and raised in Marine Park, Brooklyn. He was a proud Xavier High School graduate and went on to receive his bachelor’s degree of civil engineering from RensselaerPolytechnic Institute. After working as a Structural Engineer in his early career, Michael found his true calling with Turner Construction Company, where he forged a 27-year career shaping the landscape of New York City.  In 1999, he and his wife moved to Middletown, where they began their family and have since remained.

Michael enjoyed sports, more notably watching Notre Dame Football, the Mets, and Formula 1racing. His true passion, however, was spending time with friends and family, sharing good food, drinks, music and memorable stories. Michael traveled extensively and was lucky enough to visit Ireland in 2022 to celebrate his Irish heritage.

He is predeceased by his mother, Joan Nolan.

Michael is survived by his father Robert Nolan, his wife Susan Nolan, his children Christopher and Caroline Nolan, his siblings Robert Nolan, Noel Toner, and Brian Nolan, and many loving in-laws, nieces, nephews and family members.

Visitation will be held on Sunday, November 16 from 1pm – 5pm at the Holmdel Funeral Home, 26 South Holmdel Road, Holmdel. A Mass of Christian Burial will be offered on Monday, November 17 at 9:15am at the Church of Saint Catharine, 108 Middletown Road, Holmdel. Burial will follow at Mt. Olivet Cemetery, Red Bank.
