Michael Gallant Obituary

Michael Joseph Gallant
Beloved Son, Brother, Husband, Father, Grampy, Great- Grampy, Uncle, and Friend
11/20/1948-12/03/2021
Michael "Mike" Gallant unexpectedly passed away December 3rd in his home. Mike was born in Waterville, Maine, to Joseph and Doris Gallant, but spent the last half of his life in Citronelle, Florida with his beautiful bride of 38 years, Regina Gallant. He loved his wife just as much on his dying day, as he did the day they met. Anyone who could see them together, could attest to the incredible, one-of-a-kind, true love they shared. Mike also had an undeniable love for his family and friends. He was known by his loved ones as a man of many words, for giving the soundest advice but also having a whit unlike any other. He had a sense of humor that could make anyone laugh; something he very much enjoyed doing. All it took was one look at his quirky smile with that glimmer in his eyes, and you couldn't help but laugh, knowing he was up to no good.
Mike is survived by his wife Regina, his son Todd Gallant and his wife Terri, his daughters Angie Van Dee and her boyfriend Steve, Robin Dodge and her husband Anthony, Renee Leary and her partner Martina, and Ramona Dillahunty, siblings Sally Devine, Patrick Gallant and his wife Barbara, Sharon Gallant, Susan Gallant and her husband Steve, and many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, and nephews.
He was predeceased by his parents, his first wife Jean Scripture, his sister Sandra Dearborn, his brother James Gallant, and many in-laws.
At Mike's request, there will be no funeral services; however, a Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. Please contact the family for details.
