Michael Andrew Grigsby

December 29, 1969 — March 15, 2022

Michael Andrew Grigsby, 52, graduated from this life on Tuesday, March 15, 2022, after a brave and fierce 17 year battle against Multiple Sclerosis.

Mike was born in Kingsport, Tennessee on December 28, 1969. He graduated from Central High School in 1987 and from Middle Georgia State University in 1999 with a bachelors in information technology and networking. Michael worked as a programmer and software engineer until disabled by MS. Michael was a member of Andrews United Methodist Church where he sang in the choir and served in the scouting program.

Michael was once described as the greatest spectacle of greatness and humility and bravery all wrapped up in one of the most loving and lovable people God ever created. He was a hero to the underdog, defender of the defenseless and a friend to the friendless all his life. Michael’s greatest accomplishment and most cherished job was being husband to Julliet Cannon and father to Duncan and Morgan. Michael was a devoted husband and father who loved his family like no other. Always the adventurer, he loved the outdoors and enjoyed fishing and hiking with the scouts, even after MS made this activity difficult. His family and friends will miss his great smile, his kind and always encouraging words and his joy that was always with him.

Michael is survived by his wife of 22 years, Julliet Cannon; his sons, Duncan Gareth (17) and Morgan James (14) all of Bonaire; his parents, Jim and Elizabeth Grigsby of Cullman, AL; his brother, Jonathan (Vicki) Grigsby of Crane Hill, AL; sister, Lisa (Tim) Senters of Savannah, GA; sister, Suzanne (Matt) Wieschorster and brother, Ben Grigsby both of Warner Robins, GA; and many nieces and nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins. They will miss the gentle giant and kind soul that was Michael.

A memorial service will be held at Andrews United Methodist Church in Bonaire on St. Patrick’s Day, Thursday, March 17, 2022, at 11:00 a.m. For friends and family unable to attend, the service will be streamed live via the Andrew United Methodist Church Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/AndrewUMC/.
