Liam graduated from Northampton Area High School in 1997. As a young adult, he worked in the construction industry with his father, building roads and bridges. He was an experienced grade checker and also worked as a surveyor's helper.

Liam was outgoing, friendly, and quick-witted. He enjoyed fishing, painting pictures, all things Irish, and spending time with his friends and family. He made the best chili in the world and loved grilling a good steak. He was a kind and caring person who liked to help others.

For the past 20 years, Liam has bravely lived with paranoid schizophrenia. Liam's family is grateful for the mental health professionals and others who encouraged Liam over the years.

Liam was laid to rest at Schenck's Cemetery in Howard, PA. A gathering to celebrate his life will be announced in the future.
