Michael was a retired construction worker who took great pride in his work, having built homes and businesses throughout Duval, Clay, and St. Johns counties. He was the son of the late William Bodway Sr. and Helen Gibson.
Michael is survived by his loving wife Rebekah Bodway, his son David Bodway, and his daughters Marie Clifton (Willard) and Maggie Shadmani (Amir). He was also a proud grandfather to Madison Harrison (Michael), Christian Clark, Carlee May, Amir Shadmani, Aryana Shadmani, and soon-to-arrive Armeen Shadmani. Michael is also survived by his siblings Steve Bodway and Debbie Bodway-Martin, several half-brothers and one half-sister, along with many nieces, nephews, and extended family and friends.
Michael was preceded in death by his sisters Linda Bodway-McLeod and Gwenlyn Lamb, as well as his brothers William Bodway Jr. and Richard Bodway. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

My Dear Husband. I miss you so much
We had 30 truly joyful years of the deepest love and truest partnership that I could imagine ...
You gave me a wonderful son and raised my girls as your own .
You gave me the experience of being deeply understood, truly supported and completely and utterly loved - and I will carry that with me always.

Our grandpa was and is the sweetest purest soul. Always and forever. Sending good morning goodnight texts daily about the same time. My brother and I coming over to eat his snacks, cookies, and pickles daily, drinking the juice as kids. And even in the late years drives across town to bring us special drinks just because n every time we ran out.. letting us ride on his electric wheelchair up and down his street all day every day. Watching treehouse masters and black and white cowboy movies at his house. Using his freezer kept Coca Cola cups. Letting me do whatever I wanted to his hair growing up even would try if not actually put his back and neck hairs in ponytails as well lol. Take his shoes and boots off for him. Always been the purest most helpful generous soul he could be. I love miss and will cherish and appreciate you and our memories forever.
