Michael Royse Dalhover, Sr., 69, of Ludlow, Kentucky, passed away peacefully on January 28, 2025. Born on June 3, 1955, to the late James A. Dalhover, Sr. and Betty Dalhover, Michael was a devoted father, grandfather, brother, and friend.
Music was one of Michael's greatest joys, and he shared his passion with those closest to him. He spent a part of his life driving a truck, but it was the time spent with his family that truly brought him happiness. Michael's love for his family, his humor, and his caring nature will be remembered and cherished by all who knew him.
Michael was preceded in death by his parents, his beloved wife of over 40 years, Colleen Dalhover, and his brothers Terry and Jimmy Dalhover. He is survived by his children: Ryan Dalhover, Brandi Dalhover, Thomas (Jillian) Dalhover, and Michael R. Dalhover, Jr.; his brother, John Dalhover; sisters Dottie Dalhover, Christa Dilts, and Phyllis Dalhover; and his nine grandchildren, who brought him much joy and love.
A private service will be held at the family's convenience. The family asks for your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time as they remember and celebrate the life of Michael Dalhover.
