Michael Charles McFall
April 15, 1955 - May 10, 2010
We arrived in Tucson, Arizona Wednesday around one o’clock with Mike being my navigator. Pat and Gina were following behind us in their vehicle. Gina and I decided to bring them in our truck and trailer so they would not have to drive their rig. Experiencing the loss of a child ourselves, we know the heartfelt pain and wouldn’t want them to have to drive. We are staying on Davis Monthan Air Force Base which is just a couple miles from Karen’s house and the funeral home. Thursday, Mike, Pat and Karen met with the funeral home to make his funeral arrangements. As a courtesy here is Michael’s McFall’s obituary.
Michael Charles McFall
“Children are a blessing from the Lord.” Psalms 127:3 Michael, age 55, died peacefully in his sleep May 10, 2010. Born April 15, 1955 in Ogallala, Nebraska, Michael was the oldest of three sons born to Mike McFall and Jean (Johnson) Krull. Michael attended Lincoln East High School, University of Nebraska, University of Utah, and graduated from the University of Hawaii. His love for America was evident by his service and retirement from the U.S. Army. He always commented that one of his greatest accomplishments was finding and accompanying the remains of American soldiers who had lost their lives during the Vietnam War and were left behind.
Those left to cherish his memories: wife, Karen F. McFall; two sons, Michael Romeo McFall and Stephen Charles McFall; father and stepmom, Mike and Pat McFall; mother, Jean Krull; brother, Patrick McFall and wife Michelle; sister-in-law, Ann McFall , nephew and niece Patrick McFall and Shala McFall, uncle and aunt, Larry and Judie Johnson; cousins and good friends. He was preceded in death by his brother, Scott A “Scooter” McFall; step-father, Chuck Krull; grandparents, Fred and Esther McFall, Martin and Lucille Johnson.
A Memorial service will be held at 1:00 p.m. Monday, May 17, 2010 at Bring Funeral Home, 6910 East Broadway, Tucson, Arizona. Internment will be held at a later date as Michael’s request was to be laid to rest at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific located in the Punchbowl crater in Honolulu Hawaii where he spent many years during his career in the United States Army.
We along with Mike and Pat thank all of our friends for their prayers and ask that you all continue to keep them and Michael’s family in your prayers.
Gina & I hope everyone has a pleasant and wonderful day, enjoying what our Father has so graciously blessed us with.
