Honoring Michael Tibbs' Life and Legacy

Honoring the Life and Legacy of Michael Tibbs

With deep sorrow and heavy hearts, we share the unexpected passing of Michael Tibbs, who left us far too soon at the age of 51. Michael—known to many as "Tibbs" or simply "Coach"—was so much more than a name. He was a devoted father, loving son, caring brother, proud uncle, and a passionate coach who left an indelible mark on everyone he met.

Michael’s infectious smile, magnetic personality, and unforgettable spirit made him the life of every room he entered. His laughter was contagious, his kindness boundless, and his presence a true gift to all who knew him. He was deeply loved not just by his family, but by an entire community!

His sudden passing has left a profound void in our hearts and lives. As we come together to celebrate his legacy, we’re also rallying to support his family with funeral home and memorial expenses. If you had the privilege of knowing Tibbs—or were touched by his love, laughter or friendship—we kindly ask for your support during this difficult time. No contribution is too small, and every gesture helps honor his life in the way he so greatly deserves.

Please consider donating, sharing this page, and keeping Michael’s loved ones in your thoughts and prayers.

And finally, in his spirit and in his honor:

ONCE A BIG RED, ALWAYS A BIG RED.

With love and gratitude!
