Michael A (Mike) Cannon, age 70, of Waldorf Maryland, passed peacefully at home on 29 July. He was a loving husband, father, brother, and grandfather. He was the dear husband of Sherri (Adams) Cannon. Born in Attleboro MA, he was the son of the late Albert and Ruth (Oldham) Cannon.
Mike was educated in Attleboro schools and was a graduate of Attleboro High School. He served his country in the US Air Force for 24 years as a Defensive Fire Control technician, retiring in 1992, and was a veteran of the Vietnam War and the first Gulf War.
He was a member of American Legion Post 82 in LaPlata Maryland, and the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post #8810 in Waldorf Maryland. Mike loved his family, his friends, old John Wayne movies, and telling colorful (questionable) war stories (and French fries, at all hours of the day and night).
Mike is survived by three children; Christopher Cannon of Waldorf MD, Jeffery Cannon (Nicole) of St Leonard MD, and David Cannon. He is also survived by three grandchildren: Matthew, Lucas and Alexis Cannon. He was the brother of Janice R. Roy, Joyce A Chalifoux, and the late Thomas A Cannon.
Viewing, immediately followed by a funeral service, will be conducted on 12 August beginning at 1130 AM at Huntt Funeral Home, 3035 Old Washington Rd., Waldorf MD. Michael will be laid to rest with full military honors in Cheltenham Veterans Cemetery.
