Michael Ginn Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Cremation Services of East Alabama, Inc. - Anniston on Feb. 12, 2026.
Michael Ginn of Jacksonville, AL passed away on February 10, 2026 . He was born on

November 8, 1952, in Anniston, AL. He was a devoted husband to Joni Ginn and a

loving father to Amy Ginn Rey and Sarah Ginn Miller.

Michael is leaving behind a family who adored him. He was a loving husband always by

his wife's side and proud father of his twin daughters. He never missed an opportunity

to cheer them on, whether in life or from the sidelines. As his family grew, his

grandchildren brought him immeasurable happiness, and he treasured every moment

spent watching them grow. Michael was an intelligent man, who loved to challenge his

mind with a good game of Jeopardy daily. More than anything, he will be remembered

for the way he showed up – consistently, lovingly and wholeheartedly. His presence

spoke louder than words. He leaves behind not only memories, but an enduring

example of dedication, strength and love.

Michael is survived by his wife Joni Ginn, daughters Amy Ginn Rey (Hernan Rey) and

Sarah Ginn Miller, grandchildren Braden and Tyson Miller and Lola, Mila and Benicio

Rey. His siblings Shirley Thompson and Jack Ginn as well as many friends and

extended family. He is preceded in death by his father Pascal Ginn and mother Eulene

Ginn as well as his brother Larry Ginn.

Visitation will be held on February 15, 2026 at 1pm at the Cremation Services of East

Alabama's chapel in White Plains, AL followed by a memorial service at 2pm.
