Obituary • 01-22-21 • Michael Champion
Jan 22, 2021 | 1
Michael Champion nurse, husband, brother, friend, and mentor passed away Tuesday, Jan. 12, due to COVID-19.
Michael was born in Plymouth, Ind., on Aug. 15, 1954. He received his bachelor’s degree in Nursing and was director of nursing for the Park in Plano. Michael loved being a nurse and always put his patients first.
Michael was a natural entertainer; his alter ego, Sable Alexander, could high kick to the heavens. He loved raising money for the community and was always there with a helping hand, a kind word and, sometimes when needed, a raised eyebrow. He loved collecting anything related to Garfield or Lucille Ball, and he had one room dedicated to Lucille Ball, his favorite entertainer, and had her VitaMeataVegaMin skit down to a T. Michael was known for his quick wit, beautiful smile, his compassion and his love of life.
