Michael S. Joyce passed away January 11th, 2025 at CMC Hospital in Manchester NH after a courageous fight with declining health. He was surrounded by his loving family and will be greatly missed.
Mike was predeceased by his mother, Mildred Joyce, and his father, Robert Joyce.
His surviving family includes his loving wife, Nancy Joyce; son, Chris Joyce and his wife Michelle; son, Ryan Joyce and his
children Amber, Tim and his fiance Kayla with Mike's great grandson, Landon; daughter Tanya Clark and boyfriend, Nick, and her children Oceana & Mathias; daughter, Amy Ikenberry and her husband Brad along with their children Gracyn, Madisyn, Emersyn & Allisyn.
Along with his uncle Ed “Toof”, his sister Marcia with her children and many cousins, nieces, nephews.
Mike enjoyed playing and watching all manner of sports, boating with the family, hunting, fishing, shooting, reading, playing the lottery and the occasional trip to the casino. But most of all he loved spending all his free time with his family and especially the grandchildren, which he adored. He taught us all the skills and lessons he thought we needed to help live a great life.
He was a lifelong welder-fabricator and always enjoyed working with his hands and building things for others. Mike was employed at Candia Trailers and Snow Equipment for many years and enjoyed his friends at work. He always said that he lived to work and worked to live.
There will be no services, per his wishes, but he wanted everyone to remember him in their own way and keep that memory of him alive in their hearts.
