Obituary of Michael William "Mike" Dull

Our beloved husband, dad and granddaddy, Michael W. "Mike" Dull passed from this life and has been released from his pain as of Thursday, December 10, 2020.

Mike proudly served for seven years in the U S Army as a Military Policeman.  He then retired, after 26 years, with the Roanoke County Police Department.  He loved his family first and foremost.  He also loved his dogs, going to football games, Fox News, playing cards and solitare, chauffeuring his grandchildren around; and as they got older, he enjoyed spending time by simply hanging out with them.

Mike lived a life of service. He protected the people and things that he loved: his country, community, and most of all, his family.

Surviving are his wife of 39 years,  Paula; children, Paul (Candice), Michelle, Ben (Trent); nephew who was more like a son, Chad; grandchildren, Kaitlyn, Will "Bubba", Madison and Hudson; sister, Rose (Rickey); brother, Eddie (Pam);  mother-in-law, Mildred; brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Mark and Claire; nephews, Andrew and Emerson; and other friends and family members too numerous to mention.

The family would like to offer a very special thank you to the ICU staff at the Veterans Administration Medical Center in Salem, and the Palliative Care staff at Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital for their excellent care and many acts of kindness and compassion.

In lieu of flowers the family requests that memorials be made to the Rescue Mission.

An outdoor, socially-distanced Celebration of Mike's life will be held in the parking lot at Colonial Avenue Baptist Church 4165 Colonial Avenue from 1 until 4 p.m. Sunday, December 13, 2020.  The family asks that you "bring a chair and a story to share".  Arrangements by Simpson Funeral Home & Crematory.  540-366-0707
