Michael K. McCoy

September 25, 1970 ~ April 28, 2022

Michael K. McCoy passed away peacefully in Murray on April 28, 2022, at the age of 51. He was born September 25, 1970, in Springfield, Illinois. He was the eldest child of Billy (Will) and Susan McCoy.   

Raised in Cottonwood Heights, he had many friends, playing in team sports, skiing, golfing, a childhood he fondly remembered. He was always the first up early Christmas morning to put together anything that required assembly. But his first love was with computers. From the first days of computers to today, he could build anything and help anyone with a computer issue.  

He graduated from high school in New Jersey and attended Salt Lake Community College, completing a course of instruction for his Microsoft Certified System Engineer (MCSE).

His proudest accomplishments in life were his four children, whom he loved very much. He loved to help them with their schoolwork, and he was proud of their every accomplishment. He is survived by his daughters Breeana, Alyssa, Kaylee and son Dyllan. In addition, he is survived by his parents Will and Sue, brother Brian, sister Mandy (Brandon), nieces Jade (Maurice), Paris and nephews Brendon and Owen, and several aunts, uncles and cousins.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents McCoy and Weis and his niece Mikayla.  

A graveside service was held on May 3, 2022, at Elysian Burial Gardens in Millcreek.

Michael lived his life unconventionally and struggled with addiction, which played a role in his shortened life. We wish him peace in his next journey.
