Michael Carscaddon Obituary

On July 31, 2022, Michael (Mike) Edward Carscaddon, 62, died in Atlanta, Ga., after a hard-fought battle with cancer. Mike is survived by his sisters Betty (spouse Vaughn) Hatley of Salisbury, NC and Suzanne (spouse Dale) Edmiston of Landis, NC, and his nephew Robert Edward Edmiston. Mike also leaves behind a large circle of friends who count him as family. Mike was preceded in death by his parents Ann (Hedrick) and Carl Edward Carscaddon. Mike was born on July 23, 1960 in Salisbury, North Carolina. He attended East Rowan Senior High School (class of 1978) in Salisbury. He graduated from UNC Charlotte in 1982 with a Bachelor of Science and Accounting. He earned his CPA in North Carolina. In 2008, Mike obtained his MBA from the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business. Mike's career started in the financial services industry. In 1987, he was introduced by his church to the Carter Work Project and Habitat for Humanity. After that volunteer experience, he served on Charlotte's Board of Habitat for Humanity until 1994. Seeing an opportunity to braid together his spiritual devotion, vocational skills, and passion for serving others, he joined Habitat for Humanity and moved to its headquarters in Americus, Georgia. During the almost 30 years he worked at habitat, Mike served as Controller, Vice President of Finance, CFO & Head of Administration, and EVP of International Operations.

Mike was one of the finest individuals I have ever known. We ran many miles together in the Morning Run ministry at All Saints Episcopal Church in Atlanta. I also recall his tenacity and grit in earning his MBA from Univ. of Michigan while working full time at Habitat for Humanity. Mike will be sorely missed by his many friends.

I went to East Rowan with Mike, class of '78 also, and he was always a great guy to be around. Mike's work really touched and improved untold lives with Habitat for Humanity. My thoughts and prayers to his friends and family. Enjoy your heavenly rewards my friend.
