Michael Neal Bodkin

June 26, 1954 – October 21, 2024

Michael Neal Bodkin passed away on October 21, 2024, at the age of 70. Born in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma in 1954, Michael was a loving father, friend, and respected attorney in Coos Bay, where he served the community for 40 years.

Michael completed his undergraduate studies at Denver University, where he received Summa Cum Laude honors. He then went on to earn his law degree from the University of Oregon. Michael’s dedication to his profession and genuine kindness made him a valued member of the Coos Bay community, where his impact will be long felt.

Michael was married to his wife, Cindy, for 33 wonderful years. They shared a deep love of golf, often traveling together to explore courses across the country. Cindy passed away a year before Michael, leaving a cherished place in his heart.

Michael is survived by his children—Marlo, David, Kelsey, Ben, and Luke—who remember him as a devoted father and role model. His legacy lives on in the lives he touched, both personally and professionally. A small gathering of friends and family will remember him in a memorial service, as he laid to rest next to his loving wife at Sunset Memorial Park.
