Rev. Mike Fugate (Courtesy) Obituary
Pastor Michael Douglas Fugate of Sidney, OH, born February 23,1949, went home to be with his Lord and Savior on September 23,2025, and heard “Well done thy good and faithful servant.”
He was preceded in death by his parents, Jess and Mary Ellen Fugate; Mother-in-law, Alice Meyer; Brothers-in-law, Dennis Meyer and Robert Werner; grandson, Charles Dodson; and two great grandchildren.
He leaves behind his wife of 58 years, Anita Meyer Fugate; his four children, Alice Fugate, Kirk Fugate, Michelle Fugate Evans(Rob), and Matthew Fugate; his 7 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren; sister Jennifer Fleckenstein(Dave), brother Christopher Fugate(Deb), and sister JoEllen Werner; as well as many nieces and nephews and more friends than you could imagine, as he never met a stranger.
Michael graduated from Fairlawn High School in 1967 and then Liberty University in 2006. He was the Pastor of Flat Shoals Baptist Church in Bowersville, GA and prior to that, a children’s church pastor for many years in various churches. He had a heart for winning souls to Christ. He was known for many of his illustrated Bible stories and church bus ministries. He loved the Lord first and foremost. He was also known to crack a joke or two and had an infectious laugh. A true man of God that will be deeply missed.
The family will receive friends Friday, September 26, 2025 at the First Baptist Church in Wartburg from 12:00-2:00 p.m. with the funeral to follow at 2:00 p.m. with Pastor Matt Ward officiating.
