Michael's obituary

Michael Douglas Black was the devoted father of three beautiful children, Kaitlynn Danielle Black, Michael Douglas Black Jr. (MJ), and Joseph Edward Black.  Beloved son of Charles E. Black (Patty) & Mona Jaggers Thorpe (Mike).  Dear brother of Timm Black, Cory Wise (Mike), Sarah Hale, and the late Russell Black.

Michael was a longtime member and former pastor of First Baptist Church of Cleves and a cherished teacher at Randall K. Cooper High School in Union, Kentucky.  He had a love for all things Star Trek, SciFi (reading, writing, and watching), and board games (especially Settlers of Catan and Risk) that was unmatched by any.

In lieu of flowers, contributions to a college fund for Michael's three children can be made through this website.
