Michael “Mike” Mooney was a loving father, devoted partner, grandfather, brother, son, and beloved friend. He left this world on May 12, 2023 at the age of 60. He passed quickly in his home in Lusby, MD. We find peace in knowing he didn’t suffer.
Mike was the son of Gershom Abraham and Diana Griffith, born on April 15, 1963. He attended South Carroll High School where he excelled in both academics and athletics. He cherished his days of high school football, winning the state championship his junior and senior years. He went on to get his Bachelor’s degree, followed by a prosperous and successful career as a manager at the Government Publishing Office in Washington, DC.
He is survived by his two daughters, Erin Meredith and Lauren Jones. His abundant love for his girls was known by everyone around him, and his legacy will live on in them. He blessed them with his zeal for sports, proudly coaching their soccer teams from a young age. He supported them at every single game, event, graduation, wedding, and an endless list of life’s milestones. He was not only an incredible father, but a wonderful grandfather to his granddaughter, Leianna Meredith.
Mike also leaves behind his dearly beloved partner, Kimberle Kenworthy. They shared many blissful memories together – adventures and simple pleasures alike – and he loved her children like his own. He and Kimi loved spending time with their friends, traveling together, riding his motorcycle, enjoying dinners by the water, days on their boat, and countless nights singing karaoke.
All are welcome to celebrate his life. Family will receive friends on Wednesday, May 17, 2023 from 4:30 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. at Rausch Funeral Home, 20 American Lane, Lusby, MD 20657.

I worked with Mike at the GPO he was a really great person employee manager and I can’t believe this is still real, and he spoke highly of his, as he called them, his girls and how proud he was of their accomplishments. I am very sad that the world won’t have Mike’s great values, smile, and he was just a pretty cool guy. You girls hang in there and with the support of your husbands and caring for Mikes grandchildren keep his values alive with your actions. I just worked with Mike but I loved him and his loss brought tears of what a waste of us losing a wonderful person. My prayers are with you guys. Live your life and never let those babies not know about Grandad. I loved Mike.

Darin and I were so very sorry to hear this and offer our deepest condolences. We always thought Mike was a terrific person and we’re honored to have known him. We will always remember him in a tracksuit with a clipboard in his hand, giving nothing but support and encouragement to every girl on the Hornets and the Courage. A special man that adored his children and made the rest of us parents a little bit better because we were around him.

We were shocked to hear the news of Mike’s passing. He always had a smile and was so excited about his retirement, his daughters, granddaughter, Kimie, and looking forward to the future. He will be missed by many but will remain in the hearts of all that were lucky enough to know him. Our deepest condolences to all.

Still in shock over this. Mike was a good friend to many including myself. I remember the many chess games we played after school when there were no sports. Once I was pushed into a head coaching position once when the head coach and assistant coach quit and I knew nothing about soccer. Mike came to my rescue and taught me a lot with his vast knowledge of the sport. I could not have done it without his guidance. He will be missed by so many people. A great person taken way too soon.

Sending my condolences to Mike’s family and everyone he knew. I went to South Carroll and we graduated together, and he was one of my best memories, always happy and kind, we would get into a little trouble for laughing in class, but those moments have always stuck with me! God got a great guy!! Mike was the epitome of everything that is good! I’m so sorry he is gone.
