Michael WOOLLEY Obituary

WOOLLEY, Michael Foy "Mike" of Lake City passed away on February 7, 2022 with family by his side. Born on October 27, 1952 in St. Petersburg, Florida to the late Robert Foy and Katherine Doris Woolley, Mike leaves behind a daughter and son-in-law, Tara and Curt Martin; grandson, William; granddaughter, Victoria; three loving sisters, Kathryn, Karen, and Marsha; brothers-in-law, aunts, many cousins, nieces and nephews. He also had many friends that became family over his lifetime. He graduated from St. Petersburg High School in 1970 and shortly after, began working for Sears part time as an appliance repair technician, quickly being promoted to full-time status and spending over 30 years working for the company as a dedicated employee until retirement in 2013. He spent most of his time helping others, often lending a hand to a neighbor, loved one, or friend. He truly never met a stranger and struck up a conversation with anyone. He had a unique sense of humor and always had everyone laughing. Mike enjoyed traveling in his RV and spending time with his longtime girlfriend, Mary, and friends and family, especially his dog, Tiny. A private memorial service will be held on March 5 in Pass-A-Grille. A Celebration of Life will also take place on March 12 at his home in Lake City, FL at 1 pm.

My dear Brother, there are no words. I know you are at peace now and free from pain. I'm so thankful you have been a part of my life forever. You became a best friend, especially in the recent years after Lesa passed. We helped each other through the ups and downs of life and laughed as hard as we could through it all. I learned so much from you and I'll carry it with me forever. Our parting words were always...love you brotha...and you would say...I love you too sistah...sad I'll never hear that again, but I can still hear it so I'll keep that close in my heart and mind. Your other parting words to friends, strangers, loved ones was always...see ya later!..
So, dear brother until we meet again...I love you brotha, see ya later. RIP

I never had the pleasure of meeting you Mr. Woolley but having had the pleasure of becoming close friends with your beautiful daughter, I know that you were a kind-hearted beautiful person as well. God bless you and your family! My deepest sympathies.

I love and miss you so very much, my dear dad! I still can't believe you're gone. You fought so hard to get better but you were tired. My comfort is that you are now reunited with all of our loved ones who have since passed, including my grandparents and your cousins and Lesa and loved ones. I know I will see you once again. Thank you for the privilege of me being your daughter!!!! We all miss you so very much, Dad!
