Michael Patterson Obituary
Michael Patterson, 45, was called home on July 22, 2025. Michael is survived by his loving wife, Melissa Patterson, and their three children, Lillian Patterson, Kali Cannon and Oakley Patterson; grandchild Roman Childers; his father, John Patterson Sr. (Anita), and mother, Sheila Morris (Gary); his brother, Danny Patterson (Jennifer); and numerous nieces and nephews. Preceeded in death by brother, John Patterson Jr., sister, Mistie Griffin, and grandmother, Joyce Patterson.
He was a man transformed by faith once lost but forever changed by the grace of God. Michael lived with purpose, always helping others, always showing up for his family and always keeping God at the center of his life.
A devoted husband and an incredible father, his love was deep, his presence steady and his heart pure. He leaves behind a legacy of strength, faith and compassion that will live on in all who knew him.
