Michael Ball Obituary
Michael found his greatest joy in spending time with his family, who were always at the center of his life. He loved attending Life enrichment through Sandco Industries. He loved settling in to watch NASCAR, always cheering for his favorite driver, Jeff Gordon, and never missed a good wrestling match. Michael also enjoyed the simple pleasures of life: shopping, trying new bites at local food trucks, and winding down with his beloved Hallmark movies. His easygoing nature, big heart and the way he made every moment feel special will be deeply missed by all who loved him.
Michael is survived by his wife, Suzanne (Horne) Ball; sister, Susan Dornquast; caregivers: Amy (Ronnie) Morton and Theresa Norwood, Angella Simon; and many nieces and nephews.
In addition to his parents, Michael is preceded in death by his siblings: Patricia Toller, Ellen Siebel, John Chase, and Wanda Downing.
