retirement, Michael served as the primary caregiver for his mother, Clara, devoting unwavering care and attention until her passing. Michael was an avid outdoorsman with a passion for hunting and fishing, enjoying his time afield with his son Michael Jr., and friends. Michael was preceded in death by his granddaughter, Caroline Miller. He is survived by his siblings, Christopher and his wife Theresa Kalil of Middletown, RI., James Kalil Jr. of Chincoteague, Va., and Jane and her husband Michael Durfee of Lake Panasoffkee, Fl., his grandchildren, Mekhi Kalil, Courtney Miller, and Christina Miller, as well as many cousins, nephews and nieces. Special thanks to everyone that helped care for Michael throughout the challenges he faced. We will be forever grateful to the teams at Huntsville Hospital and Fresenius Kidney Care for the care and encouragement along the way. Funeral services shall be private.
