Michael Dale Halley

Michael (Mike) Halley passed away peacefully at his home in Phoenix, Arizona on October 18th, 2025. Mike was born in 1952, to Vol and Betty Halley in Wray, Colorado. The Halley family moved to Nebraska, residing there for several years. In Mike's middle-school years, the Halley family moved to Cheyenne, WY where they made a permanent home. In 1970, he graduated from Cheyenne's East High School and attended the University of Wyoming. In 1972, he settled in Phoenix, Arizona where he eventually enjoyed a career as a commercial painter.

He will be remembered as a consummate golfer, a passionate card player and the master of any jigsaw puzzle offered to him. Mike also had a penchant for practical jokes and robust, enthusiastic conversation. Additionally, his family's cabin in Glendo, WY held a special place in his heart. It was there that the family gathered for celebrations and summer retreats. Mike, ever the competent fisherman, happily provided Walleye for numerous family meals. When not fishing, he could be found towing his children, nephews and nieces behind the family motor boat, as they learned to water ski.

He was preceded in death by his father Vol Halley and niece Briar Schumacher. He is survived by his mother, Betty Halley, his wife of 52 years, Maggie (Abraham) Halley, a daughter Andrea, a son Jonathan and his wife Rubina, his two dearly loved grandchildren-Elijah and Sonia; brothers Terry and David Halley; nephews Jared and Jason Halley; nephew Awin Schumacher; nieces Winzy Schumacher, Audry Halley, Sherrene Mills, Everly Mills and Nora Mills.

A memorial service will be held Monday, November 3rd, 10:00 A.M. at Green Acres Cemetery in Scottsdale, AZ. Condolences may be sent to the care of Green Acres Mortuary and Cemetery, 401 North Hayden Road, Scottsdale, Arizona 85257.
