Died: 8/9/2023
Age: 68
Community: Grand Blanc, MI


Michael (Mike) Bruce Mansberry hit the brakes on life's highway on August 9th, 2023 at the age of 68. He had an unwavering love for semi-trucks, with a heart that revved for the open road.

His eyes would light up at the sight of a big rig. With over 50 years of truck driving experience, his knowledge of trucks was second to none. His passion for the trucking world will forever be remembered by his loved ones. Before retiring from General Motors after nearly 20 years, he helped save many lives in the Genesee County area as a volunteer fireman.

Michael graduated from Southwestern High School, Flint, in 1973.

He leaves behind companion, Diane Coggins; daughter, Crystal (Criss) Mansberry; grandson, Troy (Troy Boy) Mansberry, and granddaughter, Candiladia (Princess Monkey) Mansberry. He also leaves behind many beloved family members and friends.

Cremation has taken place and Celebration of Life Ceremony will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, the Mansberry family set up a GoFundMe to assist with Mike’s arrangements. Additional donations can be made in Mike’s memory to St. Christopher Truckers Relief Fund supporting truckers and their families in times of need, Link for GoFundMe: https//gofund.me/c0f67819.

A special thank you to the Intensive Care Unit staff at McLaren Regional Medical Center in Flint and Dr. Melanie Pendergrass in Grand Blanc.

Mike is preceded in death by parents, Helen and Harry Mansberry, sister, Cheryl Mansberry, and grandson, Noah Ryan Beckman.

“Over and out!”
