Michael L. Jumper

Michael L. Jumper, 53, of Huber Heights, Ohio unexpectedly passed away on Saturday, August 24, 2024 around 11:58 PM.  Michael was born November 10, 1970 in Eden, North Carolina to Robert and Marva Jumper.

Michael was a dedicated family man, friend, and active member of the community. Many will remember “Coach Mike” for his volunteer roles as head and assistant coach of several youth sports programs. Most are familiar with him coaching youth basketball, youth wrestling, and Pee-Wee football to name a few. If Mike was not coaching, he was often watching sports or taking his children and their friends to sporting events in and around the local area. A true sports enthusiast at heart.

He also leaves his ex-wife and good friend, Lovica Ware; uncles, Stephen (Barbara) Jumper, Eddie (Cynthia) Golden, and Samuel (Vickie) Scales; aunt, Susan (William) Galloway; nephews, Ahmad Jumper, Amir Jumper, and Corey Tyler; nieces, Adia Jumper, Lovie Robinson, and Jacklyn Robinson; and a host of cousins, friends, other loved ones and acquaintances.
