Michael Lee Cushman, 44, passed away February 16, 2020, at home surrounded by family and friends that he had touched in some small way throughout his short, yet very memorable life. He was born April 1, 1975 in Millington, Tennessee the son of Ruth Cushman.
Michael was known as a truely gentle giant to his family and friends. His life would seem too short to many, but those who were touched by him understood that the quality of existence far exceeds the quantity of time in which one lives.
Throughout Michael's long bout with cancer he never lost his quick wit and timely sense of humor.
Michael is survived by his loving wife Sonia Cushman of 17 years, sons Aidan and Evan of the home; his mother Ruth Cushman of Millington, TN; brother Kenneth and wife Kendra Cushman of Quantico, VA; numerous aunts, uncles, nephews, and cousins.
