Michael Jenkins Obituary
Michael Colon Jenkins, age 65, passed away on Sunday, November 30, 2025, at Hospice Savannah.
He was born on September 4, 1960, in Savannah, Georgia, to his late parents, Ralph Jenkins and Linda Jenkins.
Michael loved the outdoors and found joy in simple pleasures, fishing on quiet mornings, horseback riding, and watching his favorite sports, especially football, baseball, and NASCAR. He was a skilled welder and fabricator, dedicating many years of his life to his craft.
He is preceded in death by his parents.
Michael is survived by his partner of 34 years, Dixie Boddiford; his sister and brother-in-law, Tammy & Stein Gledtisch of Rincon, Georgia; his nephew, Christopher Gledtisch; and many others whose lives were touched by his presence.
Michael’s warmth, companionship, and steady spirit will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
1979 Highway 119 S, Guyton, GA 31312
