Michael Armand Soucy, age 77, of Bristol, RI, passed away surrounded by his family on September 21, 2026, after a hard-fought battle against Glioblastoma Brain Cancer and Alzheimers disease.

Mike grew up in Lynn MA, and was drafted into the Army in 1969. He was honorably discharged in 1971 and returned to Lynn to meet the love of his life, Sandra. He moved his family to Danvers MA in 1989 where he and Sandy raised their two children until retirement. They relocated to Bristol RI in 2018 and thoroughly enjoyed retirement.

After his time as a Drill Instructor for the Army, he spent many years as a self-employed electrician and general do-it-all. He spent the rest of his career at OSRAM Sylvania, working a majority of the time in an electrical laboratory in the Beverly MA plant. Along with being a licensed electrician, Mike graduated from North Shore Community College with an associates degree in engineering technology while raising his young family.

Mike was a man always on the go and enjoyed many things. When his children were younger, he coached every team he could. He dedicated a lot of time volunteering with the Danvers Youth Soccer program, taking on any role needed. He had a passion for photography that included his children's high school sports; hiding in the bushes during a golf match for the perfect shot, or getting special privileges to roam the soccer field for action shots. Later he transitioned to "fishing" in his kayak, often with just his camera. He loved woodworking and being creative in general. He built a boat, artistic wooden pictures, kids toys, and brought any home improvement idea him and Sandy had to live in his workshop. He loved boating, whether it was fishing, sailing, or just cruising out on the water. In retirement his passions included digging quahogs, riding his bike, learning to golf, making jewelry from seashells and glass, and celebrating happy hour, but most importantly, being surrounded by family and friends.

He is survived by his wife of 54 years, Sandy, his two favorite children Kate Tartamella and Kurt Soucy, both of their spouses, and the three best granddaughters a Papa could ask for. He is also survived by his extended family and incredible friends that have become family.

A remembrance of his life will be held at Sansone Funeral Home at 192 Wood St, Bristol RI on October 3, 2026, from 12 P.M. to 2 P.M.
