Michael Joseph Seevers Jr., of Imperial, Missouri, passed away on May 4, 2026, at the age of 65, surrounded by the love of his family.

Following his military service, he built a meaningful career across several organizations, using his talent as a grant writer to support schools and nonprofits and strengthen the community he cared about.
