It is with great sadness that we say Griffin “Griff” Patrick Meehan has died. Griffin was born on July 16, 1989, in Hartford, Connecticut. He died too soon on September 4, 2024.
Griffin grew up in Simsbury, Connecticut. He went to Keene State College in New Hampshire to study journalism and then moved to Boston. Griffin’s parents, Jennifer Heil Meehan and Michael Meehan, his partner Samantha Tavantzis, his beautiful daughter Ryan McKenzie Meehan, his grandparents, many cousins, nieces and nephews, the Tavantzis family, and too many friends to name all of them are the people he leaves behind. Griffin had only brothers and sisters as close friends because he was an only child.

Griffin did a lot in his 35 years, and it’s hard to explain how much someone with so much heart meant to others. Griffin had a huge heart that showed in many ways. He would literally and figuratively give the shirt off his back to anyone in need, he loved and supported his friends and family no matter what, and he brought a lot of life and happiness to every place he went. In high school and college, he was an All-American lacrosse player. Now, he is a senior account executive at EverQuote who does great work. Griffin’s most important roles were as a devoted son, a caring partner, and a devoted friend. But becoming a father was his greatest achievement.
Griffin was a man who felt everything, and he loved life very much. He put everything he had into everything he did, whether it was a pick-up game of basketball in the city, the music he listened to and shared his service work, or his love for the people close to him.
