In Loving Memory of Michael H. Dolson February 28, 1958 – May 20, 2025
With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Michael Dolson, known to many as Mikey, Dad, Pops, or Dol, who left the physical realm on May 20, 2025, at the age of 67.
Michael was a devoted father, a quiet pillar of strength, and a deeply compassionate soul. He faced life's challenges with resilience, always putting his family first. His hard work and sacrifices gave his children a life filled with love, opportunity, and support.
He found joy in the simple things, especially snowboarding, which brought him peace and freedom. The mountains were his place of refuge and renewal.
Michael believed in kindness, community, and helping others. Whether offering a hand, a listening ear, or quiet encouragement, he made those around him feel seen and supported.
He leaves behind a legacy of love, perseverance, and generosity, values we will carry with us always.
A celebration of life will be held later this summer. All who knew and loved him are welcome to join.
"Just be nice."
