Charles Simpson Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jan. 7, 2025.
Charles Michael Simpson, of Winter Haven, Florida, passed away on January 6, 2025, in Winter Haven, FL.

Born in Louisville, Kentucky, Mike led a remarkable life filled with dedication and achievement. He honorably served his country as a fighter pilot in the United States Air Force, flying the F-102 Delta Dagger. Following his military service, he pursued a distinguished career as a commercial airline pilot with Pan Am Airlines. Later in life, he transitioned into real estate, where he worked as a broker.

Mike had a passion for sports and was an avid fan of the Kentucky Wildcats, Tampa Bay Rays, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He also enjoyed spending time outdoors working in his yard and found great pleasure in reading books.

He is lovingly remembered by his children: Gary Simpson, Tom Simpson, Bob Simpson, and Melanie Simpson.

Mike will be deeply missed by all who knew him. May his memory bring comfort to those who loved him.
