Michael Dean Ragsdale

Michael Dean Ragsdale (Orlando) was a loving and caring husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend.  Michael went home to be with his savior on Thursday, Sept 2, 2021 at the age of 58.

Michael was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease – Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) in December 2015.  He fought a long, hard, and courageous fight, he always had a very positive attitude in his battle with this debilitating disease. He had an extensive career in the staffing industry for over 35 years that spanned from Florida, Georgia, and Texas.  He was a laid back, quiet man devoted to his family and friends, and a true animal lover.  He enjoyed a robust political conversation as he was an avid follower of the political stage.

Michael was born to Vonda Lee Taylor and Harry Louis Ragsdale on September 29, 1962 in Key West, Florida.  Predeceased by his parents and brother Tim, he leaves to mourn his wife Fran (Orlando), son Bryan, stepson Wesley Nott (Tannia), granddaughters Aurora and Viviana, brothers Robert, Chris, and Harry (Susie).  

In lieu of flowers donations can be made to Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research or a charity of your choice.  According to Michael’s wishes, there will be no funeral service.

 

Rest eternal grant on him, Oh Lord
And let light perpetual shine upon him
May he rest in peace
