Michael Deerman

Loving Memory of Michael Deerman
March 25, 1993 – May 23, 2025

With heavy hearts and profound sadness, we announce the sudden passing of Michael Deerman, age 32, whose light left this world far too soon.

Michael was more than a son, brother, and father—he was a force of warmth, humor, and love in every life he touched. He passed unexpectedly, leaving behind a family who adored him and memories that will forever echo with his laughter. 

Michael is survived by his loving siblings, Katie and David, and his beautiful daughter, Nova Jade Bower, who was the light of his life and the reason behind so many of his smiles. 

To know Michael was to feel joy. He had a rare gift: no matter the circumstances, he could make people laugh. Whether through a perfectly timed joke, a goofy grin, or a silly story, he carried with him an infectious spirit that lifted the heaviness from any room. He was the kind of person who noticed when someone needed a smile and made it his mission to bring them one. 

But beyond his humor, Michael was deeply loving. He cared with his whole heart. He was protective of his family, always checking in, always showing up when it mattered. He wanted nothing more than to be a good father, a loyal friend, and a kind soul in a world that doesn’t always make that easy. And in every way that truly counts, he was. 

Though our time with Michael was heartbreakingly short, the impact he made in those 32 years will never fade. His legacy lives on in the laughter we still hear when we think of him, in the stories we’ll tell for years to come, and most of all, in the bright, loving heart of his daughter Nova. 

We love you, Michael. We miss you more than words can ever say. Never a goodbye, but always a see you soon. Until we meet again.
