Michael Dean Hearn Sr., 66, passed away on June 23, 2025 in Greenville, South Carolina.

He was born on January 13, 1959 in Florence, Alabama. Michael worked as a Government Contractor for over 30 years displaying his unique skills in Cyber Security. He was active in church ministry throughout his life, serving as a Sunday School teacher and leader in AWANA, Junior Church, Couple's, and Youth ministries. Michael made a relationship with the Lord and service in the local church a central part of raising his children.

He enjoyed time with his family most of all, including family beach vacations, watching Alabama football with his father and children, and the many holiday traditions he established. Michael enjoyed watching his children and grandchildren play sports, watching war movies, driving his truck, picking out treats from the gas station, practicing wood working, and developing photography skills. Michael was a devoted brother and son who maintained a close relationship with his parents and sisters.

Michael was a generous man who consistently gave to others. He brought fun and silliness into the lives of those around him. While Michael faced many struggles in his life, he ultimately recognized his need for a Savior and professed a relationship with Jesus Christ.
