Michael McCormick Obituary

Michael William McCormick

December 10, 1967 - May 20, 2025

Tumwater, Washington - Michael will be dearly missed by his family--his son Ian, Michael's parents Mike and Kathy McCormick, his brother Sean McCormick (Nicole), nephew Quinn and Michael's ex-wife Dawn McCormick, aunts, uncles and cousins in Washington, California, and New York. Michael attended Lincoln Elementary, Olympia High School, SPSCC, WSU, and St Martin's College where he pursued a degree in math. He loved and followed sports of all kinds and played golf for 4 years on the Olympia High School golf team. Michael enjoyed sharing his skills along the way as a math tutor, golf and Little League coach as well as his work at Capitol City Golf Club and retail sports sales. Michael's gentle, loving spirit lives on in his son Ian of whom he was most proud. Michael will be remembered as a gentle giant with a ready smile and the ability to fully engage in the moment with co-workers, friends and family.

For Memorial information go to www.FuneralAlternatives.org for an on line obituary and guestbook. In lieu of flowers donations in Michael's memory can be made to The Crisis Clinic of Thurston and Mason Counties and to Capitol Little League Baseball.

I am deeply saddened to hear about Mike's death. I first met him as a junior player at approximately 10-years-old at Capitol City GC. His stature was massive and his voice was like a boom! What I didn't realize initially as a small kid was that Big Mike would be one of the most kind and caring people I'd ever be friends with in this game. It was always a treat to play golf with him. I wish I had known of this in time to pay my respects last week.

Big Mike was truly a great guy!

I have so many memories of Mike as a coach and board member at Capitol Little League. I remember how excited he was to find some invotive tee's for tee ball that could be taken apart and stored or carried easily. Lots of meetings and games! Go Cubs!

Darrel and I will keep you close to our hearts. You and your boys are part of our earliest Olympia memories. You were our example of how to parent two boys 7 years later. We are beyond saddened. Lots of love from the big D and Julie.

I remember well, Michael as an adorable toddler, and then growing up several doors away. My condolences to his parents, brother, and the rest of his family.

Mike you are missed and forever will be missed. We first met and played golf when I was in middle school. Fast forward to me being paired up with you for a winter tour event at the Club and as we shook hands on the 1st tee you asked if I was the same kid who played way back when with you! I was taken back that you placed me over a decade later. That was the start of our chats on and off the course no matter what the topic we always had a dialogue going. Tee them high and let them fly Big Mike in your newly found peace who I was more then appreciate of calling my friend.
