Mike Calhoun

Mike Calhoun, born on March 7, 1962, in Ashe County, North Carolina, passed away on September 18, 2025, at the Glenbridge Health and Rehabilitation Center in Boone, North Carolina. 

Mike dedicated much of his life to Vannoy Construction, where he served as a machine operator.  Known for his stubbornness, Mike was a man of conviction; once he set his mind to something, it was unlikely anyone could change it. This steadfast nature was coupled with a deep love for the Lord, and he found immense joy in his church community and the peaceful drives he took through the countryside.

Those who were fortunate to witness Mike’s spirit will fondly remember his warm way of bidding farewell to loved ones. He always made it a point to say, “I love you,” leaving an imprint of affection at every goodbye. His faith and love were cornerstones of his life and served as guiding principles in his relationships with family and friends.

Mike is survived by his son, Rob Calhoun (Emily); his daughters, Ashley Burchette and Kendra Trunmire (Matthew); his grandchildren, Brynlee Calhoun, Laramie Turnmire, Laine Turnmire, and Lillian Turnmire; his sisters, Debbie Coldiron (Mike) and Linda Coldiron; and his brothers, Johnny Calhoun (Patty) and Robert Calhoun (Melissa) and several nieces and nephews. 

Mike was preceded in death by his parent's, Bob Calhoun and Betty Roland Calhoun; sisters, Tammy Miller and Cathy Hardin; his grandson, Liam Wood and his niece, Kelly Hardin.

Mike Calhoun's legacy, rich in love, faith, and resilience, will forever inspire those left behind. His presence will be sorely missed, yet his memory will continue to live on in the lives of his family and friends.

There will be no formal services for Mike.
