Michael Minning Obituary

With a heavy heart, I announce the passing of my brother, Michael Roy Minning, on Wednesday, April 10, 2024.

Michael's life was a symphony of passions. He was an aficionado of classical music and fine wine, enriching his days with the sounds of maestros and the taste of vintages. A world traveler, Michael's adventures took him all over Europe, but his heart always brought him back to his home, either in Sarasota, FL, or in Washington, MO.

A dedicated educator and gifted violinist, Michael had a unique talent for teaching children of all ages to appreciate music, imparting his love for the art to countless young minds. In his retirement, Michael loved driving his motorcycle, tending to his beautiful flowers, and spending time with his beloved Brittany Spaniels. The love he held in his heart for his family and friends was fiercely loyal and unwavering.

Michael's presence was a gift to all who knew him. There was truly no one like him, and his memory will live on in our hearts. We will remember him and miss him forever.
