Michael Inman Obituary

Publish in a newspaper

Michael "Mike" Ray Inman, born June 2, 1961, to the late Everett Inman and Magdalene Inman (née Taulbee), passed away on November 17, 2025.

Mike was a man who lived with his whole heart. He was preceded in death by his parents and his sister, Vicky Asher, and is survived by the people he loved most in this world: his daughters, Stephanie Inman (John Tackett) and Tara Horton (Andrew); his son, Michael Inman (Raven); his sister, Charlotte Salas (Braulio); his brother, Everett Inman (Shirley); and his treasured grandchildren - Kaycee, Wesley, Rowan, Collins, Wren, Lincoln, Kellan, Wylder ("June"), and Sullivan.

Mike had a true collector's spirit. Coins, knives, antiques - if it carried a bit of history or character, it caught his eye. But more than anything, he collected memories. He was all about family, and his laugh - loud, contagious, and unmistakably his - could fill a room and lighten even the heaviest day.

Mike was a hardworking man who found joy in working with his hands. Always the first to step in when something needed doing, he was known for his skill and reliability. Woodworking was one of his greatest passions. He also had a deep love for animals, especially the rescue dogs he welcomed into his life and cared for as family.

Mike leaves behind a legacy of kindness, humor, and a deep devotion to the people he cared for. His presence will be missed dearly, but the warmth he brought into the world will live through his family, his stories, and the many things he built with his hands and his heart.

A visitation will be held on Saturday, November 29, 2025, at Linnemann Funeral Home in Erlanger, Kentucky from 1:00 PM–3:00 PM with words of remembrance starting at 3:00 PM. In lieu of flowers the family would like donations to be made to Children's Cardiomyopathy Foundation; any local animal shelter.
