The Lenten season begins on Wednesday.  Because of the solemnity of the season, church decorations are at a minimum and flowers must be removed following the funeral.  The family suggests donations be made to St. Catherine\u2019s School in memory of TJ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TJ McGough was born in Valley City, ND, June 6, 1975, the first son born to Patrick and Mary (Baumann) McGough.  He grew up in the Valley City area.  TJ was one of the first special needs students to attend Valley City Public School.  He graduated with the class of 1994.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was a constant companion to his mom and enjoyed being on the go.  He liked watching sports and listening to music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Family and faith were the most important things in TJ\u2019s life.  He was a lifelong member of St. Catherine Catholic Church.  TJ belonged to the Knights of Columbus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TJ leaves behind his parents, Mary and Ed Hollinshead and Patrick McGough; brothers, Michael (Dana Faber) and Nathan (Jill); nephew, Dacotah (Dani Neuberger); nieces, Trinity, Desire, and Autumn; and great nephew, Ivan.  He\u2019s also survived by many aunts, uncles and cousins.  In addition to his biological family, he has numerous brothers and sisters in Christ left to pray for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
