HIGGINS, Michael Dayne, 73, passed away at home in Brandon, Florida, on February 25, 2023. He served his country and his community with the U.S. Army (1968-1974), Tampa Police Department (1973-1981), and Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office (1984-2004). He enjoyed fishing, shooting, and he was a yo-yo champion. He is survived by his wife of 43 years, Joyce; six children, Marie Williams, Emily Higgins, Robert Higgins III, Elaine Hoke, Michael Higgins Jr., and Joseph Higgins; and 11 grandchildren. He was born on December 22, 1949, in Little Rock, Arkansas. May he rest in peace, fishing every day in the sun with his brother and buddies.
