After a long battle with melanoma, Michael Patrick Staton went to be with his Lord on the morning of Tuesday, July 2, 2019. He was born March 9, 1974, to Mike and Phyllis (Fletcher) Staton, in Fort Scott, Kansas.
Michael ran his own business, M&T Electronics, for over two decades where he worked beside family and friends. He married his soul mate, Julie, on July 13, 2013. Michael was an avid music lover. His genius mind was constantly solving the world's problems, from day to day issues, to politics, and religion, and he loved getting into lasting conversations about his point of view on those topics. He was known for his intelligence, inexhaustible humor, constant laughter, infectious smile, and his kind and compassionate spirit. Michael had never met a stranger and wanted all to come to faith and trust in Jesus Christ. His faith was unwavering.
Michael is survived by his wife, Julie (Kerr) Staton; five children, Logan and Jessica Staton, Chris, Megan, and Erin Kocher; his mother and father, Mike and Phyllis Staton; his sister, Crystal and her husband Mike Williams; his nephews, Joey Staton and Josiah Williams; his niece, Micah Williams; his grandmother, JoAn; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and close friends.
Visitation was 6:00 to 8:00 PM, Thursday, July 11, 2019, at Faith Assembly of God Church.
Funeral was 10:00 AM, Friday, July 12, 2019, at Faith Assembly of God Church.
