Michael Linton

Born in St. Andrew, on Carpenters Road, Michael was the third of five children born to Oswald and Joyce Linton. He lived a life of dedication and service—first as a proud member of the Jamaica Defence Force, then in the Utilities Department at Desnoes & Geddes, and finally in his long and fulfilling career as an air conditioning technician with the Palm Beach County Facilities Management South Region. His professional journey spanned over 45 years, during which he pursued his passion for repairing, servicing, and installing air conditioning units with skill and pride.

Michael was deeply devoted to his family and took great pride in his children and grandchildren. Known for his willingness to help anyone in need, he could always be counted on by family or friends. He loved a good “reasoning,” sharing wisdom drawn from his experience and expertise. In his leisure time, Michael enjoyed watching sports—especially football, cricket, track and field, and tennis—and would have spirited conversations regarding such. Michael never missed an opportunity to boast about the accomplishments of his children and grandchildren and was quick to show pictures and videos whenever the occasion presented itself.

Michael was predeceased by his parents and his sister Patsy.
