He also found great joy in coaching boys baseball in both Scottsville and Fluvanna. 

Michael was a deacon and devoted member of Fox Memorial Baptist Church where he enjoyed attending services and spending time on many committees.  He thoroughly enjoyed working with the youth until his health kept him from attending.

A funeral service will be conducted at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, July 19, 2025, at Fox Memorial Baptist Church by Pastor Randy Golladay and Denise Vogt.  Burial will follow in the church cemetery.

The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service at the church.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be sent to Hospice of the Piedmont.

The family would like to extend our heartfelt thanks and appreciation to Dad’s devoted team at Hospice of the Piedmont, his nurses (Kasie, Deb, and Ruth) as well as his amazing Chaplin Denise.  They made this immensely difficult journey just a little easier. 

Thacker Brothers Scottsville Funeral Home is handling the arrangements.
