It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Michael Timothy Stroup, a loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend on June 16, 2026.
For 30 years, Mike proudly served as a firefighter/engineer with the City of Charlotte, dedicating his life to helping others and making his community a better place. Whether on the job or in everyday life, he was always willing to lend a hand and support those around him.
He loved spending time outdoors and could often be found enjoying nature, working with his hands, or searching for his next antique treasure. A talented cabinet maker, he took great pride in creating beautiful pieces that will be enjoyed for generations. His craftsmanship reflected the patience, care, and attention he brought to everything he did.
More than anything, Mike loved his family. He was a devoted husband, a caring father, and a proud grandfather who treasured every moment spent with those he loved. His faith in the Lord was evident in the way he lived his life. He leaves behind a legacy of love, service, faith, and hard work that will continue to live on through his family and all who were fortunate enough to know him.
Mike is preceded in death by his father Frank Stroup. He is survived by his wife, Linda Godley Stroup of Beulaville; three daughters, Rachel Stroup Myers and husband Jason of New Bern, Megan Stroup Sholar and husband Seth of Beulaville, Sarah Marie Stroup of Swansboro; mother, Sarah Stroup; brothers, Bobby Stroup, David Stroup and wife Pam, Paul Stroup, Jamie Stroup; and seven grandchildren, Justin Myers and wife Liz, Jake Myers, Josh Myers, Jameson Myers, Laney Sholar, Evie Sholar, and Beck Sholar.
Mike's deep love for the next generation was clear to everyone, as he constantly commended God's goodness to all who crossed his path (Psalm 145:4). To honor his incredible legacy, the family requests that memorial donations be directed to Beulaville Baptist Church's Youth Activities Fund, PO Box 394, Beulaville, NC 28518, helping the student ministry continue to grow mature disciples who in turn make future disciples.
