Michael Houle Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Sperry-McHoul-Pichi Funeral Home on Mar. 19, 2026.
NORTH ATTLEBORO – Michael Ernest Houle, a longtime resident of North Attleboro, Massachusetts, passed away peacefully on March 15, 2026, following a courageous and lengthy battle with cancer. He was 66 years old.

Born on June 20, 1959, Michael was a man defined by his generous spirit and his unwavering devotion to his family and faith. A light to all who knew him, Michael was a truly kind soul who would give the shirt off his back to anyone in need. He was a handyman who took immense pride in his craft, most recently sharing his talents as a maintenance man for Micozzi Management before he happily retired. His favorite way to show his love was through his work, he was happiest when building or helping his family complete home projects, leaving behind a legacy of craftsmanship and care in the homes of those he loved.

A man of deep conviction, Michael was a member of the World of Truth Bible Church in Attleboro. His strong Christian faith was the cornerstone of his life, providing him with peace and strength throughout his final journey.
Michael's greatest joy was his family.

He is survived by his mother, Mary Lou Houle, his children, Crystal, Stacie, and Joshua, his brothers, Jimmy and Kevin Houle and his sister, Lori. He also leaves behind his beloved grandchildren, Ethan, Austin, Rowan, Sophia, Marilyn, Roland, Kevin, Zachary, Michael, Victoria and Laurel and his nieces, Ariele, Beth and Jessica. Michael now joins his father, Ernest, his brother, Stephen, and his Nana, Virginia, in eternal peace.

His warmth, his helping hand and his steady presence will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

In accordance with Michael's wishes, all services and interment at Saint Stephen's Cemetery in Attleboro will be held privately.

Arrangements are under the care and direction of the Sperry-McHoul-Pichi Funeral Home, North Attleboro.
