Obituary of Michael Lee Lupton
IN THE CARE OF

Cotten Funeral Home

Michael Lee Lupton, age 64, passed away peacefully on May 1, 2026, at his home. He was born on September 23, 1961, in New Bern, North Carolina.

Mike was a lifelong construction professional and a true craftsman. He had a natural talent for building and fixing nearly anything and took great pride in his work. His career took him across the United States and overseas, including eight years in Iraq.

He loved his family and friends deeply and was known for his generous spirit; he would give the shirt off his back to help anyone in need. Mike enjoyed the simple pleasures in life, including a cold Corona, watching NASCAR, working on old cars and trucks, and spending time on the golf course.

Mike lived a full and hardworking life, building not only structures but lasting friendships everywhere he went. He will be remembered for his kindness, strong work ethic, and the joy he brought to those around him.

He is survived by his loving sister, Lori Lupton; his brother, Linwood Daniels; Melanie Schack and his extended family; and many close friends who became like family. He was preceded in death by his mother, Patricia S. Williams.

A private gathering to celebrate his life will be held by the family.
