Michael Calhoon

Michael Sean Calhoon, 36, died Wednesday, June 15, 2016 at Hospice of the Chesapeake's John and Cathy Belcher Campus in Pasadena, MD after receiving the diagnosis of a brain tumor 26 years ago. He leaves his wife of 14 years, Christina (Saveleski) Calhoon; his son, Seth Michael (age 11), and his three daughters: Allison Nicole (age 9), Jaime Kathleen (age 7) and Natalie Elizabeth (age 5). Born in Annapolis on November 27, 1979 and raised in Arnold, the son of Edward Julian and Katherine (Myers) Calhoon, he was a lifelong resident of Anne Arundel County. Diagnosed with a brain tumor at age 10, Michael was blessed with receiving care from Dr. Ben Carson at Johns Hopkins Hospital. Perhaps what most defined him was the way he did not allow this diagnosis to hinder him. In his youth, he studied the acoustic guitar for 8 years and became a Ham Radio Operator at age 14. He had a life-long passion for baseball that he shared with his son. He loved animals, which always included his family's cats. He also participated tirelessly in his workouts, training locally with B Good and friends in Tribe Strength. Friends were always important to him and he remained close to his childhood friends throughout his life. He is also survived by his mom, Kate Myers Calhoon, sister, Julie Christine Semenuk, his brother, Edward Julian Calhoon, Jr., sister-in-law Jennifer Phipps, and their son, Ethan Keane Calhoon. He is predeceased by his father, Edward Julian Calhoon, Sr. Friends may visit on Friday, June 17, 2016 from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the Barranco & Sons, P.A. Severna Park Funeral Home, 495 Ritchie Highway, Severna Park, Maryland 21146. His Celebration of Life will be held Saturday, June 18, 2016 at 2:00 p.m. at the Funeral Home. The internment will be private. In lieu of flowers, a donation may be given to Charm City Animal Rescue http://charmcityanimalrescue.com/
