Michael Wayne Lindley, 60, of Pensacola, FL passed away Friday, March 24, 2023.

Michael was born December 25, 1962 (Christmas Day) to the proud parents of Don and Annie Lindley. He was raised on a farm in Hagerstown, IN. He complained often being the only boy among 4 sisters, but he proved to be both a protective brother and best friend to each. Upon graduating from Hagerstown High School in 1981, he attended Hanover College, prior to graduating from Ball State University with a B.S. in Marketing in 1985. He flourished as a sales and marketing manager at General Electric earning many awards and acknowledgments throughout his career with the company.

Though a true Midwesterner, the ocean beckoned Michael. He lived in Pensacola, FL for the last 25 plus years enjoying his past time of restoring cars, riding his motorcycle, and strumming his favorite Jimmy Buffett songs on his guitar. He was an avid car enthusiast winning many awards over the years and was a member of the Panhandle British Car Association. Michael certainly was known for his humorous personality to friends and family and his kindness and generosity to neighbors & strangers alike, did not go unnoticed. Michael enjoyed talking about God with his family and was Baptist by faith.

Michael is preceded in death by his father, Donald Wayne Lindley and sister, Peggy Lee (Lindley) Bender.

Survivors include his mother, Annie Laurie-Lindley; three sisters, Laurie (Lindley) Serak, Penny (Lindley) Billheimer, and Lisa Lindley; as well as two daughters, Shelby (Lindley) Callaway & Annie Lindley.

Special thanks to the medical staff at HCA Florida Hospital and niece, Lindley Anne Griffin.
