Michael L. Stacy

Michael L. Stacy, 70, passed away on July 25, 2026, surrounded by the love of his family.

Michael was born on June 30, 1956, in Wichita, Kansas, to Viva Stacy. He graduated from Shawnee High School in 1975 before attending T & I Vocational School, where he studied welding. His dedication to his trade led him to a career as a welder at Tinker Air Force Base, where he took great pride in his work.

Michael was a man of few words, but his actions spoke volumes. He was known for his quiet strength, kind heart, unwavering loyalty to his family, and dependable nature. Those who knew him could always count on him to be there when it mattered most.

Family was the center of Michael's life. He cherished every opportunity to spend time with his children, grandchildren, and extended family. Some of his favorite memories were made while fishing at the lake. He never missed a birthday phone call, faithfully signed cards for those he loved, and was always there to celebrate birthdays and milestones. One of his sweetest traditions was bringing flowers to his mother's grave, a reflection of the deep love and respect he held for his family.

Michael was especially proud of being a dad, papa, and uncle. His family was his greatest accomplishment. He also took great pride in becoming a certified welder and building a career at Tinker Air Force Base.

In his free time, Michael enjoyed fishing, collecting walking canes from antique stores, looking through old photographs, and watching Gold Rush. He also loved cooking chili and beans, then transforming the leftovers into what he affectionately called "spaghili."

He was preceded in death by his mother, Viva Stacy; his wife, Carolyn Stacy; his sister, Sally Hunter; and his grandparents, Alvin and Pearl Montgomery.

Michael is survived by his daughter, Neeka Stacy; stepchildren, Kelly Liddell and her partner Jan Stone, Kim Scalf, and Carlene Barnett; his grandchildren, Leann Stacy, Everett Deaton, Ava Morey, Timothy Butler, Kalyn Cavalier, Chase Cavalier, and Brandon Scalf; his great-grandchildren, Reese Avery Scalf, Riley Verolun, Trinity Butler, Faith Broomfield and husband Jay Broomfield, Barrett Butler, Connor Cavalier and Penelope Cavalier; his siblings, Charles R. Stacy and wife Gayle Stacy, Jim Stacy, and Randy Stacy; his brother-in-law, Danny Hunter; sister-in-law, Sandy Duncan and husband Clay Duncan; nieces, Hannah Stacy, Sydney Stacy, Allison Hunter, Tiffany Spaulding and her husband Matt Spaulding, Taylor Cochrane and husband Justin Cochrane, Faith Stacy and Hannah Stacy; nephew, Caleb Stacy; great nieces, Harper Yonannan and Charlie Cochrane; great nephews, Bentley Yonannan and Hudson Cochrane; and Mychelle Peaker, whom he considered extended family; and numerous other nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family members, and dear friends who will forever cherish his memory.

Michael's quiet presence, steadfast love, and devotion to his family will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

A memorial service will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Friday, August 7, 2026, at Walker Funeral & Cremation Service Chapel.
