Michael L. Napier

October 17, 1980 - April 26, 2022

Michael Lewis Napier passed away unexpectedly on April 26, 2022. He was born on October 17, 1980 to the late Lowell Bryant Napier and Pamela McNeill Bates. Michael struggled for many years with drug addiction, which finally took him from us. He tried so hard to recover many times and had three years of sobriety until his death. His mother finds comfort in knowing how much he loved Yeshua, in spite of all his struggles, and now is in the arms of a loving and forgiving God. Michael was blessed with a large and loving family and a beautiful 18-year old daughter for his mother to love and cherish as a reminder of her beautiful boy. Michael is survived by his mother, Pamela, step-father, Ronald Bates, whom he thought of as his dad, daughter Drew, 3 brothers, James (Celeste), John (Ashley), Bo (Michelle), his sister, Lindsey Romyanond (Noom) and several nieces, nephews, cousins and friends who loved him dearly and cared about him throughout his life. He is preceded in death by his father, Lowell Bryant Napier, maternal grandparents, Lt. Col Jesse Lewis and Lillian McNeill, who loved him so much, and his first cousin, Sgt. Phillip David McNeill.
