Michael Hurley Obituary

HURLEY, Michael Thomas, 56, of Mechanicsville, VA went to be with the Lord on January 8, 2024. He was predeceased by his mother Judith Mahone Hurley. He was survived by his father, Thomas Woodrow (Freda Hurley), his sister Paula (Billy) Sahnow, and his nephews Beau and Von. Mike graduated from Lee Davis High School in 1985 and from James Madison University in 1989. He was part of the JMU Swim Team and part of the Championship 400-Yard Freestyle Relay in 1987 and 1988. He was a big fan of the Miami Dolphins and was a collector of sports memorabilia. He was an even bigger fan of his nephews Beau and Von. Mike volunteered at Atlee and Hanover high schools where he kept books at the basketball games and he worked the chains and painted the football fields for the games. "Uncle Mike" will be greatly missed. A celebration will be announced and held at a later date.

Gone too young, I will always remember how much your mom loved her kids and the prettiest butterfly swimmer I have ever seen.

I am so very sorry. Judy and I went to school together, ran with the rescue squad. Mike went to school with my son Bryan. Another angel has entered heavens gates.

My heart is broken for you all! Michael is such a sweet soul.
Paula-you, the family and Tom are in my prayers. Judy was one of my most favorite people in this life. My belief is that Michael is with her and all those that have gone and love him. You are a wonderful sister. Sending you my love and wish I could hug you.
