Michael A. GroseTractor Ford 9280Michael A. Grose, age 45 of Richwood died unexpectedly Saturday, August 4, 2012 while working at a painting job in Cleveland.  He was born May 5, 1967 in Marion to Howard and Evelyn (Eastman) Grose, who both survive in Richwood.

Besides his wife and parents, he is survived by two sons, Logan and Lincoln and a daughter, Layne, all at home; a brother, Mark Grose, Richwood; four sisters, Melanie (Stan) Price, Richwood; Michelle (Allen) Strickland, Willow Springs, North Carolina; Marcy Elliott, Richwood; Melita (Larry) Becker, Lebanon; his mother-in-law, Sandie (Jim) Hess, Kimbolton; and a loving and devoted extended family.

Funeral services will be Friday, August 10, 2012 at 11:00 AM at the Richwood Church of Christ, 29063 Sivey Road in Richwood with Pastors Matthew Craig and Dave Hudson officiating.  Burial will follow in York Cemetery.  Friends may call on Thursday from 4 to 8 PM at the Stofcheck-Ballinger Funeral Home, Richwood.

To the Grose family, my most sincerest sympathy is with you all in this time of loss.  Although his time on earth was short, he made the best of the time he was granted.  Blessings come in many shapes, sizes and people and he was a true blessing.  Remember the best of times as those are what will help you heal.
