Michael Coppedge Obituary
Born: September 25, 1962 in Joliet, IL
Died: November 13, 2023 in Woodstock, IL
Michael Edward Coppedge, 61, of Crystal Lake, passed away unexpectedly on November 13, 2023. He was born in Joliet, IL, on September 25, 1962, to Everett and Janice Coppedge.
An alumnus of the College of St. Francis and Northern Illinois Law School, he dedicated his career to the judiciary, cherishing his time and the relationships made through a shared pursuit of justice.
He was the beloved husband of his high school sweetheart, Margaret "Meg" McCloud. Known to his grandchildren as "Grandpa Donut," Mike delighted in surprising them with donuts on Sunday mornings. His walks and conversations with Meg and his role as a steadfast listener to his son, Matt, showcased his deep love he had for his family.
Mike is survived by his wife, Meg; son, Matthew (Laurie) Coppedge; grandchildren, Cooper and Madelyn; mother, Janice; and sisters, Debbie (Larry) Shreve and Jacque (Phil) Arnold. He was preceded in death by his father, Everett.
A visitation will be held on Friday, November 17, from 3 pm until a service at 7:30 pm at Davenport Family Funeral Home and Crematory, 419 E. Terra Cotta Ave., Crystal Lake.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to a local animal shelter of your choice, honoring Mike's love for animals – especially cats and dogs.

Meg and family, so sorry for your loss, praying for strength to get you through this difficult time. Hang on to all your good memories. We still think of you as one of the sweet neighborhood little girls playing together in our back yards.

I am so sorry to see this. I remember Mike when he played little league baseball at Troy...many years ago. May the LORD Jesus Christ by his Holy Spirit grant you peace and give you rest in your time of grief.

Mike - enjoyed our time competing and playing together on the softball fields at Lippold. We hope your family finds peace in knowing that you were a good man and that you are still watching over them. Take a pitch and go to right field. Jack & Beth Sebesta Punta Gorda, FL
