Michael Otwell Obituary

Michael Anthony Otwell, age 40, unexpectedly passed away on Wednesday January 22, 2025.
Michael will forever be remembered for his kind and loving nature. Michael loved his family, but more than anything, his beloved daughter Brooklyn. Whether they were on the ball field or getting pedicures together, the bond between them was undeniable. Michael was a wonderful father, son, brother, uncle and friend.
He loved sports, watching movies, playing golf and spending time with the ones dear to him. Growing up you could always find Michael on a court or field. He graduated from West Monroe in 2002 and was part of the national championship football team. He was also quite the home run hitter. He created so many lifetime bonds through these years. Michael held his friends close. He would give you the shirt off his back, even if it was the last thing he had to give. Michael will always be remembered by his genuine smile and his ability to bring joy to those around him. To know Michael was to love Michael.
Michael was proceeded in death by his father, James Scott Otwell, brother Jason Ferguson, maternal grandparents Billy and Roy Dancy, paternal grandfather Thomas Otwell, and special friends Ben Caldwell and DJ Ernst.
