Michael Carr Densmore

Michael Carr Densmore, age 73, of Charlotte, passed away unexpectedly at Sparrow Eaton Hospital on November 10, 2026. He was born in Charlotte, Michigan on February 16, 1953, the son of Kenneth and Helen (Sentes) Densmore.

A 1971 graduate of Charlotte High School, Mike went on to serve his country in the United States Army as a paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne. After his military service, he built a long career with the Michigan Department of Corrections, retiring after many years of dedicated service.

Mike was a pilot who enjoyed flying, and he also found great happiness in hunting and fishing with his grandchildren, and, above all, spending time with his family. He will be remembered as a giving, generous, and very caring man. Mike loved helping others. No project was ever too small for him. He was always willing and able to step in and do what he could to support and lend a helping hand. Those qualities were part of the steady, practical way he moved through life and cared for the people around him.

His family was the center of his life. He adored his family, loved his grandchildren deeply, and was especially proud that he never missed any of their events. That faithful presence, quiet support, and enduring love will remain a lasting part of his legacy.

Mike was preceded in death by his parents and brother-in-law, Don Moore.

He is survived by his children, Rayanne Sipka, Kenneth (Tiffany) Densmore, Sara (John) Peralta; grandchildren, Annabelle Densmore, Tyler Densmore, Brooks Peralta, Mya Peralta; sisters, Shirley Moore and Marcia (Terry) Simpson; and special friend, Iris Gainer.

In keeping with Mike’s wishes, cremation has taken place and a celebration of his life will be held at a later date.
