Michael Richard Tansey died unexpectedly on November 8, 2025, at his home in Bell Trace.

He is survived by his son, Rowan; daughter, Sarah and husband, Herman; ex-wife, Linda; stepsons, Chama Henry and his wife, Rachel, and daughter, Roxy, and Zack Henry and his wife, Elizabeth Ross; grandkids, Belle and wife, Brittany, Liam and wife, Miyuki; brother, Kevin and wife, Leni; Kristen and Kiley; and friend, John Johnson and his wife, Elizabeth.
He had friends all over the world and we will miss him for the rest of our lives.
