My name is Jennifer Hennessey, I am the fiancé of the dearly departed. On June 19th, 2024 (The date of his late Dad's Birthday), unexpectedly passed away. His name was Michael E. Southard, aged 56 years old. Many knew him as Pokey, handle. He was the E-6000 (which he used on everything) that kept everyone and everything together.

After a T2-L3 Spinal Fusion back in October 2013, he was unable to work. We fought for 5 years to get the government to approve his disability, which we finally got. He loved his family and friends more than I can express into words. His children and grandchildren were his everything, Barbara (Tim) (Caitlynn, Colby and Cynthia), John, Tiffany(TJ) (Jesse, Oakley and Everly) and Jadyn.

He also was an avid Call of Duty Zombies player; he met many close friends on there that will surely miss him. He loved his cat Cedric, who still waited on him to come bed last night and meowed for a while when he didn't show last night.

Michael lost his beloved mother, Barbara G. Southard in November 1998. In January 2022, Michael lost his only brother Scott D. Southard, which he completely shut down from the world. Then in March 2023, he lost his dad Ramon D. Southard, which he fell into a further depression afterwards. He kept optimistic, even not being in the best health, he kept pushing forward.

We are asking for any type of help at all. Michael did not have any life insurance of any kind. We're trying to raise enough money for services and the aftermath of this terrible loss. Anything, anything at all will help us. Our whole family thanks you in advance for the love, prayers, calls, messages in this time of need.
