Steven Dwyne Poore

Steven Dwyne Poore of Flat Rock, Michigan, died at home on September 16, 2026, at the age of 74. An obituary published by Michigan Memorial Funeral Home through Legacy.com and MLive remembered him as a husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather whose working life and leisure both left a clear imprint on the people around him.

He was born on April 26, 1952, to Dorothy and Albert Poore. He spent his working years at Ford Motor Company, where colleagues and family remembered him as steady and reliable, the kind of person who kept machines and conversations running. Away from the plant he filled his free time with fishing, hunting and singing, and with humour that friends said could turn an ordinary evening into a story worth repeating. The funeral home notice described a man who left behind fishing hooks, unfinished hunting tales and punchlines, a portrait of someone who treated ordinary Midwestern pleasures as a serious life craft.

Poore was preceded in death by his parents and by his sister Glynda. He is survived by his wife Pamela; his sister Theresa; his sons Jeffrey, Jason, Justin and Skip; his daughters Jennifer and Holly; fifteen grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren. Visitation was set for September 24, 2026, and a funeral service for September 25, at Michigan Memorial Funeral Home in Flat Rock, with Michigan Memorial Park handling arrangements.

He was not a public official or celebrity. His memorial rests on the testimony of family and of a local funeral home that chose to celebrate his humour as carefully as his work. In southeastern Michigan, where generations of families have built lives around the auto industry, that combination of plant labour, outdoor weekends and a household full of children and grandchildren is its own kind of public history. Steven Dwyne Poore's page exists so that record is not reduced to a single publication date on a news wire.

Those who knew him were invited to remember him with a chuckle and a story of their own. That request, more than any formal citation, is the epitaph his family chose to leave in print, and it is the standard this memorial tries to honour.
