Michael Scott Bailey

Michael Scott Bailey, beloved brother, son, uncle and friend passed away peacefully at home on March 31, 2015.  He was born on February 15, 1951, to Robert and Betty Bailey in Salt Lake City, Utah. He was loved dearly by his family and was a gentle peacemaker.

He served an LDS Mission in Dallas, TX. Upon returning home he met and married Vicky Miller. They later divorced.

Mike had a talent for loving people in a very special way.  He found joy in family, friends and teaching youth. He shared his love of learning at Olympus High School, teaching for over 34 years.

He served as a Boy Scouts leader for over 30 years and received the Silver Beaver Award for his leadership.   He enjoyed many friendships over the years with his singing groups, Mountain Man Rendezvous events, Scouting, church, neighbors and his expert Dutch oven cooking.

Most recently Mike served in a Special Needs Mutual program for youth and truly loved all he came in contact with.

He is preceded in death by his parents and sister-in-law, Gwenneth, survived by brothers, Robert, Bryan (Angelica), Doug (Sue), sisters Sue (Steve) Feil, Marylu (Dave) Langford and many nieces and nephews.  Mike will be greatly missed by his family and friends, whose life he touched, but his memory will live forever in our hearts.
