11/28-Michael Dailey

Michael Connor Dailey 78, passed away Saturday, November 24, 2018. He was retired from A R Taylor Co. where he worked in sales. Visitation will be 12:30-2:30 on Thur., Nov. 29 at Memphis Funeral Home, 5559 Poplar Ave. Burial will be at 12:30 on Fri., Nov. 30 at Englewood Cemetery in Clinton, Mo. Mike enjoyed hiking, swimming, reading, watching college football, and dining out. Although he was born in Missouri, he lived most of his life in Malesus and Memphis, so he felt he was a true “Tennessean”. He was proud of being an Eagle Scout, a summer life guard at Chickasaw State Park in his youth, and serving in the Tennessee Nat’l. Guard. During that service he helped protect Memphis firefighters after Dr. King was assassinated. Preceded in death by his parents, Edgar and Mary Dailey, sister Zula Dailey, brother Warren Dailey, sister and brother in law, Jane and Herb Stockton. Survived by his niece Mary (Ross) Stryker, nephew Jim (Maureen) Stockton, one great nephew, four great nieces, five great great nephews and two great great nieces. He is also survived by long time companion Sue Swaffer, and best friends Wayne and Sandra Davidson. Many thanks to the staff at Kirby Pines Rehab facility for his care after surgery earlier this summer, especially Bobby Spell, his wound care nurse. Though he was only able to spend a short time at Village at Primacy we also appreciate the help provided by Stephanie Casey, their sales director, and Patty Earles with Silverline Solutions.
