Michael Paul Stringfellow, 62, passed away on May 29, 2026, leaving behind a lifetime of memories, laughter, and love that will never be forgotten.

Born on April 8, 1964, Michael was the son of Margaret Helen Stringfellow and Jack Cleveland Stringfellow. He was a devoted husband to his wife, Roberta Stringfellow, and a loving father to his daughter, Melissa Kollar, and son-in-law, Glenn Kollar. He was also a proud grandfather to his beloved granddaughters, Julia and Hazel Kollar, who brought immense joy to his life.

Michael is survived by his wife, daughter, son-in-law, granddaughters, and his brother, Jack (Jackie) Stringfellow, whom he lovingly cared for for more than twenty years. His dedication to his brother reflected the kindness, compassion, and selflessness that defined his character.

After earning his GED, Michael built a successful career as an elevator mechanic. He was highly respected in his trade and took great pride in sharing his knowledge with others. He loved teaching helpers everything he knew about elevators, carefully explaining every detail to ensure they learned the craft properly. While his thorough lessons may have occasionally tested their patience, he was genuinely proud when those he mentored advanced to become mechanics and moved up within the industry. Watching others succeed was one of his greatest rewards.

Michael enjoyed fixing things, working on cars, and building just about anything. He had a talent for understanding how things worked and was always willing to lend a hand to anyone in need. Whether helping a friend, neighbor, coworker, or stranger, he would do whatever he could to make a difference.

Known for his beautiful smile, generous heart, and larger-than-life personality, Michael touched countless lives. He was also known for being a bit of a hell raiser, bringing laughter, stories, and unforgettable moments wherever he went. His sense of humor, strong work ethic, and willingness to help others will be remembered by all who knew him.

Michael’s legacy lives on through the family he loved, the people he helped, and the many lives he impacted through his kindness, mentorship, and friendship. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
