Michael M. Taliaferro, 71, of Missouri City, Texas, formerly of Owensboro, passed away Saturday, October 22, 2022, at his home. He was born December 15, 1950, in Owensboro, to the late Ernest E. Taliaferro Sr. and Theresa Murphy Taliaferro. After moving to Texas in the early eighties, Michael worked for Texas Gas Exploration Corp. and ended his career at Adams Resources (parent company of Tennessee Titans). Mike was an avid golfer and enjoyed his weekends on the course with his Quail Valley buddies. He was loved by all his family and especially by his nieces and nephews who thought the world of him. Mike was most proud of his service to his country as he served in the US Army and extended his term to 18 months in Vietnam, which prevented his brother from being deployed there. He was always looking out for others.
Along with his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife of 46 years, Debra Lynn Head Taliaferro in 2017; his sister, Rebecca Rose Kluck; in-laws, Julian ‘Dude’ McDaniel, Tyler and Dyann Head Lashbrook, Mick Zoglmann, Derror Head, Terry Welborn, John Head and Donna Hall Head; a niece, Mary Katlyn Taliaferro; nephew, Rob Welborn; and parents-in-law, Alice Unsel and Henry Head Sr.
Mike is survived by his brother, Ernie Taliaferro (Shirley); in-laws: Donna Head McDaniel, Dane Head Zoglmann, Dalynda Head Welborn, Henry Head Jr. and Jane Keeney Head; 29 nieces and nephews; many great-nieces and nephews; 43 cousins; special friends, Don and Lynne Higginbotham, Brock and Vinnie Moore, all of Texas, Bo, Cindy and Steve Bump and Ava Heep.
The funeral Mass for Mike will be 10am Saturday at Immaculate Catholic Church with Father John Vaughan officiating. Burial will follow at Yellow Creek Cemetery. Visitation will be held from 2pm until 6pm Friday at Glenn Funeral Home and Crematory and Saturday at 9am until Mass time at Immaculate Catholic Church.
Memorial contributions may be made to Owensboro Catholic High School, 1524 West Parrish Avenue Owensboro, KY 42301, and the Opportunity Center of Owensboro, 3560 New Hartford Road Owensboro, KY 42303.
