Michael McCracken

Michael McCracken, 40, passed away on Sunday, June 23, 2024 at Memorial Health University in Savannah, Georgia after a brief illness.

A resident of Jesup, Georgia for the past seven years, Michael was born on December 15, 1983 in Seoul, South Korea.  He spent his early years in West Seneca, New York and continued his education after high school, receiving a Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering from Alfred State College in Alfred, New York.  Michael moved around quite frequently throughout his career in construction before accepting a position with the Federal Bureau of Prisons at FCI Jesup in 2016.  In his spare time, he enjoyed cosplay. He could frequently be spotted as Master Roshi or Vegeta at local ComicCon events and he also was an avid gamer with a love of classical music, 2Cellos being one of his favorite groups.  His favorite times were spent with the ones he loved, playing Dungeons and Dragons, creating War Horns, and generally inciting laughter and fun wherever he happened to be. More than anything, he loved spending time with his beloved wife and children.

Survivors include his wife, Michelle McCracken of Jesup, Georgia; three children, Charleston and Magnolia McCracken both of Guyton, GA, and Adriana Vowles of Jesup, GA; parents Bob and Glo McCracken of Crossville, TN; brother, Josh McCracken of Crossville, TN and sister, Celeste McCracken of Charleston, SC. He is also survived by his nephew, numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and extended family members.

A celebration of life will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, June 27, 2024 at Howard & Jones Funeral Home in Jesup, Georgia.  The family will receive friends following the services at the funeral home.
