Of course, here’s a longer piece you can use for an obituary, memorial post, fundraiser, or tribute page:
In Loving Memory of Michael Alan Symons
Saint Charles, MI
April 20, 2025
On Easter Sunday, April 20th, 2025, our hearts were broken as we said goodbye to a man who meant the world to so many. Michael Alan Symons of Saint Charles, Michigan, passed away peacefully after a brave and difficult battle with cancer. His passing leaves an irreplaceable void in the lives of everyone who knew and loved him.
Michael was more than just a father—he was a guiding light, a steady hand, and a warm heart. A devoted dad to four children, he dedicated his life to supporting and loving his family unconditionally. His wisdom, strength, and sense of humor shaped the lives of those around him in ways that will never be forgotten. Whether it was a word of encouragement, a shared laugh, or just his calming presence, Michael had a way of making people feel safe and seen.
He was also a beloved brother, uncle, and friend, whose kindness extended far beyond his immediate family. Known for his quick wit and generous spirit, Michael had a unique ability to connect with people from all walks of life. His stories could make you laugh until you cried, and his compassion reminded you of the goodness in the world.
Michael faced his illness with the same quiet strength and dignity that defined his life. Even in the toughest moments, he never lost his humor or his love for those closest to him. His resilience was nothing short of inspiring.
As we grieve the loss of this remarkable man, we are committed to honoring his memory in a way that reflects the love and life he gave to us. We are currently seeking help to cover the costs of his cremation and memorial services. It is our hope to give Michael the heartfelt farewell he deserves—a tribute filled with love, remembrance, and celebration of a life well-lived.
Any support you can provide, whether through a donation or by sharing his story, will make a meaningful difference. No gesture is too small, and every bit helps us lay our father to rest with the dignity and respect he earned through a life of compassion, laughter, and love.
We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness, your prayers, and your support during this incredibly difficult time. Michael’s legacy lives on in the lives he touched—and in the hearts that will never forget him.
