Michael Owen Kirby, known affectionately as Mike by his loved ones, passed away on June 18, 2024, at the age of 64. Born on August 24, 1959, in Wayne, Michigan, Mike was a beacon of friendliness and kindness throughout his life, always greeting others with a warm and spirited smile.
Mike's early years were spent in the close-knit community of Wayne, where he formed lifelong friendships and cherished memories. His family was the cornerstone of his life, and he was a beloved son to his mother, Anna Kirby, and father, William Kirby. Mike was a supportive and caring brother to Carol (William) Cole and Patricia Kirby, and he held a deep respect for his late brother, William Kirby.
Those who knew Mike will remember him as the embodiment of a friendly and kind spirit. He approached life with an infectious enthusiasm that uplifted everyone around him. His presence was a source of joy and comfort, and his absence will be deeply felt by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
Mike passed away peacefully in Dearborn, Michigan, surrounded by the love of his family. As we say farewell to Mike, we celebrate the remarkable man he was and the indelible mark he left on the hearts of those who loved him. His legacy of warmth and generosity will continue to inspire us all.
