Michael Edmondson Obituary
Michael Andrew Edmondson
ALEXANDRIA, VA - Michael Andrew Edmondson, 47, of Alexandria, VA, passed away on August 3rd, 2024. Loving husband of Angela Edmondson (Luciano,) beloved father to Dominic and Grace, Son of Curtis Edmondson and Lesslee Valentini and dear brother of Christopher Edmondson and Steven Edmondson.
Mike was a 1999 graduate of the United States Air Force Academy, a 23-year Air Force veteran and combat tested pilot, retiring in 2022, as a Lieutenant Colonel. He was a shining example of everything a husband, father, and friend should be. Mike's life was tragically cut short by a blood clot in his heart.
Family and friends may call on the Edmondsons at Jefferson Funeral Chapel, 5755 Castlewellan Drive, Alexandria, VA, 22315, for a visitation on Tuesday, 13 August 2024 from 2:00-4:00 and 6:00-8:00 PM. A funeral service will be held at the Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling Chapel on August 14, 2024 at 11:00 AM. Interment will follow at Arlington National Cemetery on a later date. In lieu of flowers, contributions in Mike's memory may be made to the gofund me account set up in their name. Angela intends to divide all contributions between a local youth sports charity, and Dominic, and Grace's college savings accounts.

I am deeply sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure of being a neighbor who played kickball, climbed trees, and rode bikes with the Edmondson boys. Mike was a wonderful person, and he will be truly missed. I cherish the many special memories of my childhood spent at their home. Sending your family prayers!

Mike was a hard-core superstar in basic cadet training with us at the Air Force Academy. He was a great teammate during the challenging freshman year at USAFA, and we never had to worry if Mike would pull his weight--he was so strong in mind and body he would usually be carrying others forward too. I send my condolences to the family on this loss, but know his Hard-Core 24 brothers will honor his memory. Enjoy this picture from our Recognition Ceremony.
