Michael Paul Cotnoir, Lubbock, TX—Michael Paul Cotnoir, lovingly known as "Mikey," passed away unexpectedly earlier this month at the age of 42. The community is heartbroken as they come together to remember a man who touched so many lives. Born on August 15, 1982, in Great Falls, MT, to Dennis and Mona Cotnoir, Michael passed away on Monday, September 2, 2024. His family is still awaiting the autopsy results to understand the cause of his passing.
Michael served his country proudly for four years in the U.S. Army, an experience he held close to his heart. After his service, he worked alongside his family in the business, handling cleaning, hardscapes, and landscapes. He also took on residential moving jobs, always committed to his work with dedication and pride. Michael was known for his generosity, always willing to help others whenever he could.
The Cotnoir family, still grappling with the sudden loss, is facing financial burdens as Michael did not have life insurance. His fiancé, family, and friends have created a GoFundMe page to raise funds for his cremation and a celebration of life. Mona Cotnoir is leading this effort, and the community has already begun to show support through donations and kind words.
Several people took to Facebook to express their condolences and share memories of Michael. Kathy McBride wrote, "I’m so so so sorry for your loss! Been praying for you and his family sister, and will continue to do so!" Lisa Fulco responded, "Thank you so much Kathy! We need all the prayers we can get for sure! Love ya girl!"
The GoFundMe campaign has received contributions, including donations from Katherine Johns ($100), Maddie Muehlemann ($25), Kaveh Moghadam ($200), Antoinette Gooley ($100), and Linda Huckelberry ($100). These funds will help cover the expenses for Michael’s final arrangements and the upcoming celebration of life, which is yet to be scheduled.
Michael’s love for his family, his faith, and his country will be remembered forever. His legacy of kindness and service will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
We are deeply saddened by the passing of Michael Paul Cotnoir. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones during this difficult time.
