Michael Dorsey Ward (Mike)

Michael Dorsey Ward, lovingly known as Mike, was born in Richmond, Virginia, on May 22, 1953. During his teenage years, his family moved to Thomasville, Georgia. He briefly attended a military academy in Seattle, Washington, before returning to Thomasville, where he graduated from Thomasville High School. 

It was there that Mike met the love of his life, Faye Ward. They were married in 1974 and shared 48 years of love, companionship, and cherished memories.

Mike was a devoted husband, loving father, proud grandfather, and loyal friend. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Faye Ward; his mother, Carolyn Ward; and his father, Harvey Ward.

He is survived by his daughter, Brandi Broadway, of Thomasville, Georgia; his grandchildren, Sabrinna Broadway and Cody Broadway, of Jacksonville, Florida; and his brother-in-law, Tony R. Adams (Tulina), of Thomasville, Georgia.

Mike found happiness in life’s simple pleasures, especially fishing and watching movies every Sunday with Faye. These moments reflected the warmth and companionship they shared throughout their marriage. He was known for his generous heart and his willingness to help anyone in need, offering kindness and support whenever he could. His wonderful sense of humor brought smiles and laughter to the people around him and made his presence a gift to those who knew him.

Mike’s love for his family, his generosity toward others, and his ability to bring joy through laughter will remain part of the lives he touched. He leaves behind cherished memories and a lasting legacy of love, kindness, and compassion. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who were fortunate enough to know him.

The service will be a family gathering, to be announced.
