The Kitchen is Closed—Help Honor Mike's Life & Legacy

Donation protected
Honoring Mike - A Life Full of Laughter, Love & Legendary Stories

Michael Hadley was never just a man—he was a storyteller, a chef, a US Navy veteran, and the kind of guy who could turn a simple conversation into a memory you'd never forget. Whether he was in the kitchen, swapping groan-worthy dad jokes, or reminding a nurse "My name is Michael, and I'll be your patient today," he lived his life full of humor and heart.

In 2022, he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He fought hard, but as the disease progressed, he was unable to work, and medical bills quickly piled up. While he is no longer with us, the costs of his care and final expenses remain.

We are raising funds to cover medical bills, funeral expenses, and the other costs associated with his passing. Any support—whether a donation, a share, or just a memory of Mike—means the world to our family.

Thank you for helping us honor a man who made the world a funnier, warmer place to be.

❤️ Kimber & Zach
