Michael Ruel Coy, 79, of Clearwater, Florida, passed away unexpectedly on December 6, 2023. He was a kind, humble, and caring man who was always supportive of those he loved and held dear. He was a talented artist and always the funniest guy in the room. Mike enjoyed long goodbyes, had a passion for old cars, and cherished spending time with his family. Mike was a graduate of Schulte High School and proudly served in the United States Navy during the Vietnam War. He was a remarkable man and will be missed by those lucky enough to have known him.
Mike is survived by his loving wife of 49 years, Barbara “Babs” Coy, daughter Ashley Miller (Shaun), sons Ryan Coy (Beth), Shane Turner, Shawn Turner, several grandchildren, brother Jerry Coy, sisters Carla Lincoln and Sharon Melvin; including several nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, James and Mary Coy and brother Jim Coy, of Terre Haute, Indiana.
A memorial service will be held on January 20, 2024, at 10:30 a.m. at Veterans Funeral Care, located at 830 N. Belcher Road in Clearwater, FL 33765. Family and friends are invited to attend and pay their respects. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in Mike’s memory to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, a cause that was close to his heart.

My heart goes out to Mike’s family and friends. He was a great brother-in-law to me. We remain friends until he moved to Florida, and lost track of each other. I’m so sorry Babs, I know he was the love of your life. Love to all, Leila
