Michael Christopher Achata

October 19, 1984 — July 31, 2020

Michael Achata, passed away unexpectedly in the early morning hours of July 31, 2020.
Michael was a very special young man. He was born prematurely and weighed under 2 pounds. He was adopted by Virginia Achata when he was around 1 year old. She loved him and nursed him into health. Sadly, she passed away when he was just 9yrs old. It was at that time that he and his 3 brothers came to live with his sister Linda and her husband Mark Spangler.
Michael had intellectual, learning and behavioral disabilities which made everyday life more difficult for him. He was usually a happy young man and had a most times had big smile on his face that would light up the room. He loved Batman, music, dancing, and collecting shoes. Lots of shoes! More anything he loved his family, people and making new friends. Michael never met a stranger.
He spent his adult years living at the Cate House group home, with caring staff at Life Bridges in Cleveland, TN. The last year of his life he moved into his own home with 24/7 staff from Capitol City Healthcare in Jackson, TN
