Michael McCaleb Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Lakeside Funeral Home - Woodstock on Sep. 13, 2025.
It is with deep sorrow and steadfast hope in the Lord that we announce the passing of our beloved husband/father/grandfather/great grandfather/brother/uncle/friend, Michael McCaleb, who went home to be with the Lord on September 2nd, at the age of 83.

Born on July 9, 1942, in Muskogee, Oklahoma, Michael lived a life marked by love and a strong faith walking daily with God and as a member of Johnson Ferry Baptist Church in Marietta, GA.

Michael is survived by his wife, Marillyn; children, Traci and Blair; his grandchildren, Michael Alan, Chaney and Brooks; great grandchild, Luna; and siblings, Steve and Mary; and many loving others.

Though we mourn his loss deeply, we rejoice knowing that Michael now rests in the arms of his Savior, where there is no more pain, no more sorrow, and no more death. His legacy of faith and love lives on in all who knew him.

Visitation for family and friends will be held on September 19 from 3:00 - 3:45 pm at Johnson Ferry Baptist Church with the service honoring Michael to begin at 4:00 pm, also at Johnson Ferry Baptist Church in Marietta, with Pastor Mitch Verdell officiating. All family and friends are invited.

The family wishes to extend their heartfelt thanks to family, friends and church family, for their support and prayers during this time.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Johnson Ferry Baptist Church in Michael's memory.

"Well done, good and faithful servant." – Matthew 25:23
