Michael Christopher Poe

Michael Christopher Poe, 51, born October 22, 1974, passed away unexpectedly on April 8, 2026.

Michael was predeceased by his maternal grandparents, Eugene and Mary Ross; his paternal grandparents, George Sr. and Dorothy Poe; and his father, George Poe Jr.

He is survived by his devoted wife, Krista (Randall) Poe, and his children, Shaun (Hill), Julianne, and Calvin, who were the center of his world. He also leaves behind his  mother, Susan Jane (Ross) Poe; his brothers, Tom (and wife, Rhonda) and Jeffrey; multiple aunts and uncles; as well as several cherished nieces and nephews.

Michael was a man of incredible strength, resilience, and heart. He faced life’s challenges with determination and courage, always emerging stronger and inspiring those around him. Above all, he was a deeply devoted husband and father. He and Krista shared a rare and beautiful bond—true soulmates who stood side by side through every joy and hardship life brought their way. Their 18 years together were filled with love, partnership, and unwavering support.

As a father, Michael was truly exceptional. His children meant everything to him, and he dedicated himself fully to their happiness and well-being. He was not only their father, but their best friend—someone they could laugh with, lean on, and love endlessly.

Michael’s passing leaves an immeasurable void in the lives of those who knew and loved him. He will be remembered for his strength, his loyalty, his sense of humor, and the deep love he had for his family.

A celebration of life will take place at a later date and all are welcome to attend. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the American Heart Association.
