Michael Shipper Obituary
May 27, 1977 - August 12, 2015
Michael would like to let you know his work here is done. He received an invitation, an offer he could not refuse, for an assignment that comes with a huge sign-on bonus, a reunion with family and friends he was waiting to see. Michael knew his dog, Murphey, would be joyously awaiting him along with his grandmother, Dottie, whom he never met here on earth and Pappau Ted.
Michael leaves here on earth his parents, Michael G. Shipper Sr. and wife Cindy; along with a step-sister, Aubrey; mother, Nina S. Davey and husband Skip Davey; his best friend in life and sister, Jennifer Taylor, husband Mark; niece, Natalie and nephew Zachary; his brother, Christopher who gave Michael the nickname "Bubba" and adored him; extended family, relatives and friends are many, and will miss our Michael.
Life Memory Celebration will take place at 6 p.m. Saturday August 22 at the Catholic Charismatic Center Room 111- 1949 Cullen Blvd in Houston 77023. Please feel free to be casual it is a non-traditional event - just as Michael was non-traditional.
Bring your short story of Michael and we would love for you to share it with us all.
