In Loving Memory of Michael Carl Herron
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Michael Carl Herron, a beloved son, brother, uncle, and friend. Born on October 18, 1986, in Cincinnati, Ohio, Michael brought joy and laughter to all those around him. His life was tragically cut short on October 18,2023, leaving a void that cannot be filled.
With a warm smile and gentle nature, Michael was dearly cherished by his family. His mother, Anna Herron, his father, Willie Brown, his sister, Tameka (Eddie) Herron, and his brothers, Weslie Herron and Damon Herron, mourn his loss deeply. Michael was an adoring uncle to his nieces Madison Lee, Milynne Lea, and Amora Lee Herron, as well as his nephew Ezra Lee Herron and niece Nova Lee Herron.
Although Michael’s life was brief, he made a lasting impact on those he encountered. He had a natural talent for bartending, which he tirelessly pursued. Working as a Bartending Instructor at The Bartending School, he shared his passion and knowledge with aspiring bartenders, leaving a legacy of skilled professionals in the industry.
Throughout his journey, Michael displayed immense strength and bravery as he faced a formidable battle with cancer. With resilience and determination, he fought valiantly, inspiring those around him with his unwavering spirit.
Visitation will be held Friday, October 27, 2023, from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM. A Memorial service to honor Michael’s life will be held on October 27, 2023, 12:00 PM at Arlington Memorial Garden Funeral Home (2155 Compton Rd. Cincinnati OH, 45231-Follow blue line on cemetery grounds to Funeral Home.) The ceremony will be conducted with utmost respect and in accordance with his wishes. Family and friends are invited to pay their final respects, share cherished memories, and find solace in coming together during this difficult time.
May we remember Michael fondly for the love and joy he brought to our lives. He will forever remain in our hearts, an inspiration to us all. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations to be made to The American Cancer Society, which holds significance to Michael.
Michael was preceded in death by his grandparents Lonnie and Ira Lee Herron and paternal grandmother Beatrice Dye, uncles Carl and Sherman Herron and Jerry Brown, and cousins Loria Herron and Shannon Sudderth.
The family would like to express their deepest gratitude to all those who stood by Michael during his brave fight against cancer. Your unwavering support and love were a great source of comfort.

“Hey Mike I just want to say I love you and you will truly be missed. I just wish had the chance to say goodbye in person but it all happen so sudden. I prayed that I would see you again and hug you so tight but I guess God had other plans. We use to talk almost everyday but I didn’t know you were sick. You didn’t say anything but I figured something was wrong because the texts stopped. I love you Mikey and you will forever be in my heart. I’m crying now as I write this because it’s hard and I didn’t ever think thay this day would come so soon. Family, auntie, and cousins I love you all so much and my prayers are with you all. Rest Up Big Cuz Mikey…. I Love You Now && Forever More. God Bless Everyone ❤️❤️😇🕊️🥀🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 #MyAngel😘”
