Michael Pafford Obituary

Michael Lee Pafford, Jr., age 41, resident of Oakland, Tennessee, was taken on August 6, 2024 to St. Francis Hospital on Park Avenue in Memphis, Tennessee and departed this life on Thursday afternoon, August 8, 2024.

Michael was born August 22, 1982 in Memphis, Tennessee, the son of Linda Gayle Pafford and the late Michael L. Pafford, Sr. He graduated from Fayette Academy in Somerville, Tennessee in 2001 and attended Ole Miss from 2001 until 2002. Michael previously worked in the retail industry but most enjoyed his time working at Memphis area radio stations for 13 years of his life.
Michael loved sports and music. He was most proud of his children whom he loved and adored. He was charming, kind, funny and loved people. Michael made many lifelong friends and will be missed and lovingly remembered as a father, son, brother and friend.

Michael leaves behind his mother, Linda Gayle Pafford; his daughter, Halle Jean Pafford; his son, Dylan Tate Pafford; four sisters, Robbin Jones (Larry), Stephanie Favreau (Cliff), Dana Mills (Mike) and Kimberly Miller (Ned); his brother, Kevin Jones; many nieces and nephews; and his beloved dog, Brady.

A celebration of life service is being planned and will be held at a later date.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-4 – To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; a time to kill and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance.

Arrangements will be provided by Peebles Fayette County Funeral Homes & Cremation Center and condolences may be left on our online guestbook at www.PeeblesFuneralHome.com.
