Michael Friday Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Georgia Cremation - Fayetteville on Feb. 20, 2026.
Michael Edward Friday of Newnan, Georgia, passed from this life on February 19, 2026. Michael was born on April 14, 1977, in Red Bank, New Jersey, to parents Kenneth Friday and Anita Passi Friday. Due to Kenneth's military career, Michael lived in many places growing up, including California, Washington, New Jersey, Hawaii, South Carolina, Mississippi, and Georgia.

Michael was a graduate of Hazen Senior High School in Renton, WA. He was baptized in the United Methodist Church while living in Red Bank, NJ. Michael eventually settled in Newnan, Georgia, for the last 18 years.

Michael enjoyed walks at the Linc Trail and lifting weights at the Summit YMCA here in Newnan. He was known for his love of computers, maps, country/folk music, and numbers. He loved his family and was a ham in front of a camera. Michael will be remembered for his laugh, contagious smile, and his readiness to meet new people.

He is preceded in death by his grandparents, his uncle, and three aunts. Michael is survived by his adoring parents, Kenneth Friday and Anita Passi Friday of Newnan, GA, and his brother Gary of Newnan, GA, along with many other loved ones and friends.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you donate to Autism and Cancer Charities in Michael's honor.
