Michael Leon 'Mike' Stockton, 57, of Bowling Green passed away January 17, 2025 at Greenwood Nursing and Rehab.
The Glasgow native was born September 12, 1967 to the late Lonnie Stockton and Dorothy York who survives. He is also preceded in death by a brother, Terry Dale Stockton; grandmother, Lela York; grandfather, Dewey York; and stepfather, Lyle Norris. Mike was known as a practical jokester who thrived on making others laugh. His self-deprecating humor lit up any room. He loved to draw, color, anything artistic, auto mechanic work, and being outside helped fill his time. Mike was a loving son, husband, father, and grandfather.
In addition to his mother, he is also survived by his wife of 25 years, Angela 'Angie' Ragan Stockton; children, Hannah Stockton (Scotty Furlong), Ricky Beauvais (Kasey), and Londa Stockton (Paul Milligan); grandsons, Cameryn and Kaedyn; brother, Greg Stockton (Angela); niece, Jessica; nephew, Trevor; and several cousins, and special friends.
Cremation was chosen with a private memorial service at a later date. J.C. Kirby & Son Funeral Chapels has been entrusted with arrangements.
