Michael Laurence Bankhead, Age 66, of Xenia, Ohio.

Passed away January 18, 2018 at home after a long struggle with health complications.

He graduated from High school in Lancaster, Ohio in 1969.

Michael worked in the grocery and telecommunication industries constantly interacting with people, which was a perfect fit for his personality.
He never met a stranger and was eager to assist any and every one he met.

As we know what was most dear to him was his love of Bible truth.
He dedicated his life to Jehovah and was baptized at the 1961 District Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
He was a member of the North Xenia Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses.

Michael loved sports and was quite the statistician on all things athletic and pretty much anything else.
His passion however was golf. If he wasn’t playing, he was watching; a true gentlemen’s sport.

Michael was preceded in death by his son: Marcus Lee Bankhead and his parents: William T. Bankhead Jr and Carolyn M. (Chavous) Bankhead.

He is survived by his loving wife Marian L. (Johnson) Bankhead of 45 years, son Michael L. Bankhead and daughter in-law Misty L. (Kilb) Bankhead. Along with his sister Ruth Ellen Marie Neel (husband David Neel) and brothers William T. Bankhead III (wife Joan) and Brian A. Bankhead (wife Glorya.) As well as cousins Lloyd A. Crable (wife Gayle), children Tori Crable (wife Winter), Maia (Crable) Jost (husband Tristan), David Crable (wife Candy), daughter Casey (Crable) Zaring. Nephew Williams T.
