September 14, 1950 - August 31, 2021
Michael Bristow, 70, passed away on August 31, 2021. He was born on September 14, 1950 in Neosho, Missouri. After completing high school, he joined the United States Marine Corp and served during the Vietnam War. Once his military career was complete, he went on to do many things. Actor, Musician, and General Manager of Food and Beverage could all be found on his resume. However, his greatest titles were Dad and Papa.
Michael leaves behind his loving wife, Valerie and his three children Michael, JoAnne, and China. He also leaves behind his three grandchildren Olivia, Henry, and Owen. He is preceded in death by his parents Elbert Eugene and Francis Joann Bristow. Michael had a big heart and touched many lives. He was the type of man who would have given you the shirt off his back, even if it was his last piece of clothing. He will be greatly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him. In lieu of flowers, a memorial fund has been set up to help his family during this difficult time.

Cherokee Memorial is honored to serve the Bristow family.
