With deepest sorrow we announce that Michael Brandon Pafford, 30, our beloved son, brother, family member, and friend passed away suddenly on Saturday, July 29, 2023, after having an asthma attack and unexpectedly leading to cardiac arrest at NMMC-Tupelo, MS. Michael is now with his brother, Asher William Pafford, his grandfather, William Terry Pafford, and his great-grandparents, Louis and Estes Pugh, and William Levi Parker, being loved in heaven as he was here on earth.
An avid online gamer he spent all his free time gaming with friends all over the world or hanging out with his “babies” (kitty cats). During football season he rooted for his Dallas Cowboys. A hard worker and genuinely good person, Michael worked at Pizza Hut, Hardee’s, and Southern Motion most of his working years, and his coworkers were like family to him. He was loved by everyone, had the best personality and was shining light in many people’s lives. The life of the party, his long silky hair and stunning blue eyes attracted the attention of the ladies. He had an energy about him that even just one encounter with him you would remember him for the rest of your life. He left his mark with his down to earth good nature and humor.
He is survived by his beloved kitty cats, Jellybean and Bean, Jr. just to name a few; his father and stepmother, Jody and Crystal Pafford; his mother, Rena Walls Pafford; his siblings, Kesha Sanders and Cody Pafford; his grandmother, Gail Pafford; and his nieces and nephews, Wyatt Sanders, Kathrine Bostick, Mason Cain Pafford, and Jenna Tutor.
His memories will be forever remembered, and he will be missed and loved each and every day.
A Memorial Service will be held on Friday, August 4, 2023, at 1PM at Tutor Memorial Funeral Home in Pontotoc with Vicki Demoney officiating. Visitation will begin at 12PM and continue to service time.
