Edwards, Michael Miller November 11, 1941 - June 12, 2025
Michael Miller Edwards, of Swartz Creek, Michigan, passed away on June 12th, 2025, at the age of 83. He was born on November 11, 1941, in Flint, Michigan, to Glenn and Orphia Edwards.
On September 16, 1961, Michael married the love of his life, Judith Ann Brewer. Together they built a home filled with love, faith, and devotion to family.
Michael dedicated nearly four decades to his work at General Motors, where he served as a skilled toolmaker from 1959 until his retirement in 1998. His work ethic and quiet strength were hallmarks of his character, both on the job and at home.
A dedicated Christian, Michael served faithfully for many years at Cornerstone Baptist Church. He held many roles over the years, including deacon, Treasurer, bus ministry driver, and caretaker of the church grounds well into his retirement. His service touched many lives and was a testament to his humble and giving spirit.
Above all, Michael was a devoted husband, loving father, proud grandfather, and great-grandfather. He is survived by his beloved wife of over 63 years, Judith Ann Edwards; his sister Sandy (Terry) Brewer, his children Dennis (Mark Steinberg) Edwards; Doug (Tracy) Edwards and their children Dylan, Cole, Maxwell, and Ava; Dawn (Dave) Morrissey and their children Alexander (Angela), Austin, Aaron (Moriah), and Audrey (Jesse) Porter, along with six great-grandchildren, each of whom brought him great joy.
Michael was preceded in death by his parents, Glenn and Orphia Edwards; his brother, Dennis Edwards; and his great-grandson, Ryan Porter.
Michael’s legacy of faith, kindness, and unwavering love for his family and community will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
