Michelle Deckman Obituary
Born on October 15, 1968, in Morgantown, West Virginia, Michelle lived a life marked by kindness and a deep desire for harmony among those around her. She was a caring and supportive wife for her husband Mike for 27 years and took great pride in her son Nicholas. Her love extended beyond her family to her two beloved puppies, Oscar and Otis, whom she cherished dearly.
Michelle's warmth and generosity touched many lives. She will be remembered for her unwavering support of those she loved and her wish for happiness and unity among all.
May her memory bring comfort to those who knew her.

Honey there's not a day that goes by that I'm not thinking of you. They say time helps, but for me, it's not true. I want to be with you.
I love you

I just found out about Michelle's passing today. I and another coworker are in shock and deeply saddened. I never got to meet Michelle in person, as we were virtual co-workers, but she was always the kindest, sweetest person. She would send individual daily positive quotes in the morning to anyone who was looking for something of light in the dark time of the pandemic. She always asked in our Business Resource Groups at work if anyone was feeling down and wanted to receive these messages. I joined her list and appreciated how she took the time to care for others. She was great to have conversations with and I am thinking of her husband and son and other family during this difficult time. She was an incredible person, and the world has lost a beautiful soul.

I miss my loving wife so much. I don't feel like my life has meaning like it once did. My heart is broken.

To my loving wife,
I could allow the grief to bury me alive.
Just let the loss of you
crush whatever´s left of me.
But you´re not a memory,
you´re a light still shining.
Burning bright, and something I carry with me.
When I speak of you,
I do so without remorse.
I beam with pride.
I speak of your exuberance.
I give them your energy.
I tell them you were art embodied.
Dancing avant-garde, bold and beautiful. Where you went, sunshine followed.
I tell them that you made life musical.
Every smile, a song.
Every laugh, a celebration.
Your life, your light,
changed me in the greatest of ways.
All the love shared between us doesn´t cease simply because you´re not beside me.
You´re within me.
My skin and bones.
My heart and soul.
The air I breathe.
The sun I stand beneath.
You are all around.
You are everything that made me.
And that sort of light never fades.
I'll take all the love we shared,
and continue sharing it.

In loving memory of Michelle, my sister, whose boundless kindness and appreciation for the beauty in the world touched all who knew her. Michelle sought and believed in the best in everyone, radiating warmth and compassion effortlessly. Her never-ending smile illuminated our lives, reflecting the joy and love she carried within.
Bold and unapologetically herself, Michelle's presence was powerful and unforgettable. She possessed a remarkable intelligence paired with a sense of humor that left us all in stitches. She was not only my sister but my heart and my light. The depth of my love for her is immeasurable, and her absence leaves a void that words cannot fill.
Michelle, you will forever be missed, cherished in our hearts, and remembered with love. Your spirit lives on in the laughter, kindness, and beauty you brought into this world.

The short time I've been in the family Michelle always welcomed me with open arms , always assured me if I ever needed anything to make sure I reach out to her or her husband for anything. This being said it was reminder to me just how short life is and that most people take it for granted. I really wish I could have had more time with her. Two of the biggest things I will remember is her love for color, art , nature, and most of all her Husband Mike and her Son Nicholas. This right here was what she was most proud of and well maybe her sneaker collection as well. Lol. Even though she has went to be with the lord in heaven she knows that her families live for her still is strong here one earth and as she says to us from afar do you like my sneakers or look what I colored on my tablet! That our life goes on here on earth our world keeps on turning the sun will rise and set as it does everyday. We need to keep on going the best we can take better care of ourselves and keep her love of family and friends going strong cause we'll that's what she would have awnt us to do ! Again Michelle till I see you again! say hello to everyone in heaven for me you will be sadly missed but not forgotten .
