Michael Lynn Sturgeon, 64, of Owensboro passed away Wednesday, November 25, 2015. Born October
7, 1951 in Owensboro, he was the son of the late Charles E. and Ethel Galloway Sturgeon and was a
member of Cumberland Presbyterian Church. He graduated from Owensboro High School in 1969
where he played football and baseball and was a member of the 1969 State Championship Baseball
Team. He received his bachelor's degree from the University of Southwestern Louisiana where he was a
member of their baseball team and a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity. After college he came
home to work at the family owned business Sturgeon Pontiac and Nissan. When it closed, he owned and
operated Ever Day Laundry.
Mike's greatest love and pride was his son Cole. Mike began coaching at Southern Little League when Cole was 3 years old. The game was their bond, and it only became stronger as the years passed. But Mike was more proud of the person he had become away from the game. Beside coaching and watching his son play baseball, Mike enjoyed horse racing and his weekly lunch with his brothers. Mike had a very charismatic personality that allowed him to connect instantly with many people. He was loved by his many friends, family, and the kids he coached. He will be greatly missed.
Surviving is his son Cole Michael Sturgeon of Owensboro; brothers, Hugh Carroll (Pat) Sturgeon and Charles E. Sturgeon of Owensboro; a sister, Betty (Charles) Webb of Batesville, AR; six nieces and two nephews.
