Michael Joe Quarterman, age 79, passed away Saturday September 20, 2025, in Crockett, Texas, surrounded by loved ones. He was born in Pasadena, Texas on June 19, 1946, and lived a life full of adventure, service, and love.

Michael proudly served in the United States Marines Corps during the Vietnam War, earning numerous honors. After his military service, he continued a life of hard work - spending time in the military police and many years as a truck driver until his retirement.

He was a proud grandfather to Nolan Michael Jansky, Leighton Jo Waits, and Chandler Lee Waits, who brought him endless joy.

A memorial service will be held at 1:00 p.m. Saturday, October 4, 2025 at the Callaway Allee Memorial Chapel in Crockett, Texas. Visitation will be at 12:30 p.m. prior to service.
