Michael Foster Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Aria Cremation Service and Funeral Home - Preston Road on Dec. 2, 2025.
"Michael Terry Foster, devoted father and cherished grandfather, passed away peacefully on November 26, 2025, at the age of 64 in Plano, Texas.
Born on April 9, 1961, in Topeka, Kansas, Michael was the son of Modest Turner Foster Sr. and Barbara Jean Wilkerson Foster. He built a meaningful life rooted in service, spending his career in healthcare and public works, where his dedication and steady presence made a lasting impact on countless lives.
Above all, Michael was known for his unwavering love for his family. He was an outstanding father and an incredible grandfather-steadfast, supportive, and always ready with a kind word or open arms. His greatest joy came from being involved in the lives of his children and grandchildren, who adored him deeply.
Michael is survived by his wife, Saundra Foster; his children, Nicole Foster, Michael Foster Jr. (Stephanie Woolf), and Melody Foster; his grandchildren, Arielle Foster and Arya Foster; and his sister, Michelle Foster. He was preceded in death by his parents and his brother, Modest Foster Jr.
Michael will be remembered for his gentle spirit, quiet strength, and the love he gave so freely. His presence will be deeply missed and forever treasured by all who were fortunate enough to know him."
