Michael Dean Carman was born in Spokane WA. He was 47 years old. He peacefully went home to Jesus on February 14, 2022 at Vanderbilt Medical Center in Nashville TN. He was born with a congenital heart condition and had numerous surgeries over the years. After a 4-year wait on the transplant list, his recent transplant surgeries of the heart and liver had too many complications for him to overcome. He and his wife Amy lived the last 4 years in Elkins Park PA and Bowling Green KY waiting for the transplants, along with his mom, Joanne.
Mike was a 1992 graduate of Shadle Park High School and had an AA degree from University of Phoenix. His employment in Spokane included the Fox Theater, Oxford Suites, Spokesman Review, UPS, Park 'N Jet, and Rosauers Grocery. He was a hard worker and remained employed until he wasn't physically able to in early 2017. He was married to his bride Amy on March 8, 2014 and they were married almost 8 years. Mike enjoyed bowling from a young age and he was an avid fan of the Baltimore Orioles, the Washington Redskins, and Gonzaga University Men's Basketball in Spokane WA
He was preceded in death by his father, Dennis D. Carman; both sets of grandparents; 2 uncles; 2 aunts; and 4 cousins. He is survived by his wife Amy Carman; his mom Joanne Carman; brother Christopher Carman; nieces MacKenzie (Peach) and Addison Carman; nephew Zachary Carman; Aunt Jeanne Wilson; Uncle Howard Carman, all of Spokane; and numerous cousins.
