HIGHLANDS - Michael Eugene Dendy, 64, went home to be with Jesus on Wednesday, Feb. 16, 2022, after a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer.
Born in Grundy, Virginia, he was the son of Ruth McCall Dendy and the late Rev. Alton Dendy. Mike was a true “man of faith,” a member of the Highlands First Baptist Church, and trustee of Mount Moriah Cemetery. He was a gifted rock mason, and he loved working with his Christmas trees. Mike enjoyed collecting cowboy boots, cowboy hats, and music.
He is survived by his mother, Ruth McCall Dendy of Goldmine; son, Kelly of Clayton, Georgia; wife Cynthia of Clayton, Georgia; sisters, Darlene Dendy Miller (Bob) of Cary and Lisa Rhodarmer (Derek) of Waynesville; three grandchildren, who he adored, Trinity, Aiden, and Blaine; close friend, Jay Dendy; and numerous other family members and friends.
Graveside service was held at 3 p.m., Sunday, Feb. 20, at Mt. Moriah Cemetery. Rev. Steve Reeves officiated.
In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made to the Mount Moriah Cemetery fund.
The family would like to thank all of Mike’s friends, family, and caregivers, who gave him the best care throughout his illness.
