Michael Lloyd Talmadge

Michael “Mike” Lloyd Talmadge was born on March 26, 1952.  He died on July 30, 2014.  Mike was raised in Baldwin, WI and graduated from Glenwood City High School, WI.  He married Julie on September 16, 1978.  They settled in Luck, WI.  Mike worked hard to support his family.  He worked for many years at Colonial Craft in Luck, WI and later at Northwire in Osceola, WI.  Mike will be lovingly remembered by all who knew him for his hard working spirit, his generosity, his love of music, his quick wit and his skill for storytelling.

Mike will also be remembered for his love of people and his love of his God, Jehovah.  He was baptized as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses on April 4, 1976.

Mike enjoyed visiting people and telling them about the Bibles promises for the future, including sharing his favorite scripture at Revelation 21:4 “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.  The former things have passed away.”

Mikes family and friends confidently await the day they are reunited with Mike as promised in the Bible when Jesus said at John 5:28, 29: “Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life.”
