Michael Willard, Johnstown, OH—Michael "Fuzzy" Willard passed away on July 29, 2024, leaving a void in the hearts of the Johnstown and Alexandria communities. Known for his generosity and dedication to helping others, Michael’s passing is a significant loss to all who knew him.
Michael, a former truck driver, had to retire due to health issues but continued to dedicate his time to charitable activities. He was a cornerstone of the Alexandria Fun Days event for children and a founding member of the Johnstown Annual Memorial Motorcycle Run, raising funds for families in need. His willingness to help others was a defining trait, remembered fondly by many.
Unfortunately, Michael’s passing resulted from complications due to liver failure after battling health issues for several years. His illness required him to undergo kidney dialysis, and he spent over three weeks in the hospital before passing away. Although he had an accidental life insurance policy, it did not cover his final expenses as his death was from natural causes, leaving his family with financial burdens.
Michael’s fiancée, Stephanie Lamp, stood by his side throughout his illness. In light of the financial strain, Michelle Belt organized a fundraiser to help cover the funeral costs. The fundraiser has raised $750 out of a $6,000 goal, with donations from anonymous supporters and community members like Sur Novel and Stacy Bash.
The outpouring of support demonstrates the impact Michael had on those around him. His dedication to community service and his readiness to help others will be dearly missed.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to Michael Willard’s family and fiancée, Stephanie Lamp. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
