Michael Sigman Obituary

Michael A. Sigman (Mike), of Germantown, TN, passed away surrounded by loved ones on Tuesday, May 23, 2023. He was 81. Mike was born in Cheboygan, Michigan on April 26, 1942, to Edmund Sigman and Virginia Carrigan Sigman. He was a 1960 graduate of Muskegon Catholic Central High School and attended Marquette University, Ferris State University and Muskegon Community College before serving in the U.S. Army. He worked most of his career for Brown & Williamson. Mike was an avid golfer (until years of sweltering Memphis summers caused him to finally put his clubs away for good), and his passion for Michigan football and the Detroit Tigers was unmatched. Aside from his wedding day and the births of his children and grandchildren, watching the Tigers win the World Series in 1984 was one of the happiest days of his life!

Mike is survived by his wife of nearly 54 years, Mary Matthews Sigman; his son, Charlie (Susan) and grandchildren, Sarah and Andrew, of Collierville, TN; and his daughter, Susan, of Windsor, CO. He was a wonderful husband, father, Papa and friend, and he will be missed dearly.

A celebration of life ceremony will be held later this summer in Michigan.

When I went to look for an attorney I knew there was only one attorney that I could call Michael sigmon there's a reason for that. My parents George and Iris Britton have been using Michael sigman attorney at law since they came here many many years ago. Attorney Michael signed with a wonderful person he helped them with many things in their business they had three different businesses and build houses and just had a lot going on and he took care of everything for us and my parents always felt at ease because they knew that he would always do the right thing so I guess I'm going to have to go somewhere else because he's no longer here I pray that he's having a great time in heaven and guess what he can have it with my father George Britton because he passed away October 2022 I just had to say something about the wonderful person he was not only has an attorney but just as someone as part of the community and just a special special person thank you Michael for everything
