In Loving Memory of Michael John Hopkins – A Life of Quiet Strength and Lasting Love
With deep sadness, the family of Michael John Hopkins announces his passing on April 17, 2025, at the age of 38. A cherished member of the Coalmont, Tennessee community, Michael’s departure leaves behind a profound sense of loss, not only in the hearts of those closest to him but throughout the circle of friends and neighbors who were touched by his life.
Michael was the kind of person whose presence lingered—gentle, kind, and filled with a warmth that made others feel welcomed and at ease. He had a quiet strength, the kind that didn’t demand attention but offered support to others in ways both large and small. Whether through a comforting word, a helping hand, or simply being there when it mattered most, Michael’s impact was deeply felt.
Those who knew him remember his humor, his humility, and the way he carried the weight of life with grace. In every role he played—as a son, father, brother, uncle, and friend—Michael brought care and authenticity. His love for his sons was unwavering, and he worked hard to guide, provide, and be present in their lives. He was a constant source of pride and support, always looking out for their well-being and future.
Michael is survived by a loving and devoted family, including his mother, his sons, his siblings, and a wide network of nieces and nephews, all of whom carry his memory with them now and always. In the stories they tell, the lessons he taught, and the love he gave so freely, his spirit endures.
A memorial service will be held in the coming days to celebrate Michael’s life and the legacy he leaves behind. Friends, family, and members of the community are invited to come together to remember, reflect, and honor the man who meant so much to so many. It will be a time to mourn, but also to celebrate the bonds that continue beyond life.
During this incredibly difficult time, we ask for your continued thoughts and prayers for the Hopkins family. The journey ahead will be filled with moments of sorrow, but also with the comfort of shared memories and the enduring love of a man who gave so much of himself to others.
Michael John Hopkins may have left this world too soon, but his memory lives on—in every smile he inspired, every life he touched, and every heart that now beats with a little more love because of him.
Rest in peace, Michael. You are deeply missed and forever remembered.
With heartfelt condolences,
The Hopkins Family & Friends of Michael
