Michael O. Dove passed away peacefully on July 21st after a long illness surrounded by his family. Mike was born on January 3rd, 1969 in Suffern, NY to Joanne (Keenan) and Peter Dove. He grew up in New City. A Clarkstown South graduate Mike played both football and lacrosse. Mike loved working outdoors and began working at the age of fourteen as a landscaper and most recently retired after 36 years with the Town of Clarkstown. He was an active member of the Knights of Columbus, as well as the Haverstraw Elks Club. A die hard Jets fan and season ticket holder for most of his life, he suffered many Sunday heartaches like so many. He loved all things relating to Seinfeld and loved to talk politics on both sides. Mike married Theresa Moran of Stony Point and together they spent 31 years in Garnerville where they were blessed with their son Conor. He called him his “pride and joy”. Their love of football, baseball and Nascar developed a strong bond between the two. Mike had an infectious smile and was most happy when surrounded by his son, nieces and nephews. He had a nickname for each one of them. Mike had so many friends in life whom he remained close with, but his best friend was his mother Joanne. They shared a bond like no other. A simple guy who never asked for much, would always be willing to help when help was needed. Mike will be missed by many friends as he was a friend to so many.
Mike is survived by his wife Theresa, his adoring son Conor, his loving mother Joanne, his siblings Pete (Alexa), Linea (Ginny), Joanne (Tom), Gene (Colleen) and Kerry (Phil), his mother in law Julia Moran and brother in law Jim (Donna) Moran and so many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his father Peter and brother Bobby.
The family will receive visitors at Michael J. Higgins in Stony Point, NY on Thursday July 25th from 2-4pm and 7-9pm. A mass will be celebrated at 10am on Friday July 26th at The Church of the Immaculate Conception Stony Point, NY followed by a burial at St. Anthony’s in Nanuet, NY
