Michael Markham passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, September 12, 2019 at age 39. A resident of the Germantown area of Quincy, Mike worked for the Quincy Public School system. He was also a talented chef who made family dinner taste like a 5 star restaurant meal. Mike was known for being a loyal protector of his family and friends, and family dog Blue was never too far from his side. If you knew Mike, you’d know that no matter the topic, there wasn’t an argument in the world that he couldn’t win.

Michael is survived by his mother, Janie Markham; brother Kevin and sister Katelin; his godchild Alex Munchback and friend Jim Munchback, godmother Debbie Sheriff; many aunts and uncles including Margie Burrows and Ken and Nancy Markham; Markham family cousins Andrew, Brian, Claire, Eric, Matthew, Nicole, and Sarah; Burrows family cousins Annemarie, Chrissy, Jenn, Jimmy, John, Johnny, Paul, Rindy, Rory, Tom, and all of their loving families. Mike is predeceased by his devoted father Bruce Markham as well as many cherished aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents.

Family and friends are invited to visiting hours which will be held on Wednesday, September 18 from 4:00 to 8:00PM at the Dennis Sweeney Funeral Home 74 Elm St. Quincy Center. On Thursday there will be a Funeral Mass at 11:30AM at St. Joseph Church 550 Washington St. Quincy. Cremation will follow.

Gifts may be made to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in memory of Michael R. Markham to support brain cancer research and patient care.
