Obituary

Michael “Mikey” Joseph McCoulf, 70, of Texarkana, Arkansas, passed away peacefully on the morning of April 13, 2025, at Hospice of Texarkana surrounded by loved ones.

Born in Vallejo, California, on May 15, 1954, Michael earned a bachelor’s degree and later worked as a delivery driver. He was known for his steady work ethic, warm heart, and unwavering devotion to family.

Michael met the love of his life, Cindy Lee, in 1998 while working at Frito-Lay putting chips on display. Cindy worked nearby in the floral department at Raley’s. Their connection was immediate and enduring—they were inseparable from the start and were married on March 7, 1999.

He loved working in the yard and spending time outdoors. Whether tending to his garden or just enjoying a quiet moment outside, nature brought him peace and joy.

Michael is survived by his beloved wife, Cindy Lee McCoulf; his mother, Patricia McCoulf; daughter, Cheree Miller; sons, Billy Bowlus and Steven Bowlus; sons-in-law Anthony Miller and daughters-in-law Sabrina and Ji; grandchildren Sarah, Savannah, and A.J. Miller, Logan Bowlus, and great-grandson Emile. He also leaves behind his brothers Paul McCoulf and Jim McCoulf; sisters-in-law Christine McCoulf, Ginger Tolleson, and Diana; brother-in-law Bill Tolleson; and aunt Kathleen Zalesky. He is also remembered fondly by a host of nieces and nephews.

Michael was preceded in death by his father, Joseph McCoulf; brother, Steven McCoulf; sisters-in-law Judy McCoulf and Joyce Ann Haynes; father-in-law Douglas Haynes; and uncles Nick, Jim Doyle, Lawrence Doyle, and Gary; and aunt Jackie.

Mikey’s legacy is one of love, loyalty, and laughter. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

What a crazy event to bring us together as friends. You willing accepted the moniker of 'Mike the Mailbox Murderer.' We had many laughs and visits with you and sweet Cindy. You assured us you knew where you were going when you left this world, so see you on the other side our brother in Christ.

My fondest memories of Mike is when my children and I moved into the same complex that him and his daughter Cheree lived in. My first impression of him was that he was a very kind person who loved his daughter very much. He was always involved in everything Cheree did. As time went on my mother moved in next door and started caring for Cheree after school. He was a great dad that made sure she was taken care of. Mike was funny and had fun with the kids. I don't remember a time seeing Mike upset. He always seemed to have a calm disposition. He was friendly to everyone in the complex. I know he had a great friendship with my mom and was able to talk with her when he needed. He he actually took my mom to Disneyland with him and Cheree to thank my mom and to have a women there for Cheree. I always hought this was special just like Mike. Mike you will be missed. R.I.P. Our Friend❤️✝️
