Mike Loudermilk, beloved husband, father, and Papaw, passed away on March 23 at 64 years old. A man of unwavering love and kindness, he devoted his life to his family, always present and always putting others before himself.

He had a heart bigger than words can express, he had an unmatched ability to love unconditionally, making everyone he welcomed into his home feel like they had always belonged. His love knew no bounds, and his family was the center of his world.

It wasn't the grand gestures but the little things he did every day that will be missed the most-the quiet sacrifices, the small acts of love, the way he made ordinary moments feel extraordinary. Whether it was a reassuring hug, a helping hand, or simply knowing the right thing to say, he showed his love in a thousand little ways that will never be forgotten.

His legacy is one of love, selflessness, and the profound impact of simply being there for those who needed him. Though our hearts are heavy, we find comfort in knowing his love will continue to guide us, just as it always has.

Preceding Mike in death includes his parents, Billy Roe and Barbara Ann Allen Loudermilk; and his beloved son Kayden "Chappie" Roe Loudermilk.

Survivors include his loving wife of 44 years, Karen Beasley Loudermilk; children, Alison and husband Stephen Arp, Joe Loudermilk and Kayleigh Loudermilk; grandchildren, Lindsey and husband Andrew Hyatt, Adam Ferguson, Casey Arp, and Mattie Arp; great grandchildren, Alexis, Addison, Alivia, and Austin Hyatt; sisters and brothers-in-law, Brenda and Kenny White and Karen and Larry Allen; and a host of other relatives and friends.
