MIKE MULCAHY Michael R. Mulcahy, age 80, of Versailles, Missouri, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, December 10, 2024, at St. Mary’s Hospital in Jefferson City, surrounded by his family. Mike was born on January 27, 1944, in Du Quoin, Illinois to Roy Mulcahy and Mamie (Jenkins) Mulcahy. Mike graduated from Eldon High School in Eldon, Missouri, in 1962 and attended Southwest Missouri State University before uniting in marriage to Janet K. (Hart) Mulcahy on February 1, 1964 at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Eldon. Mike and Janet had three children and raised their family in Eldon until moving to Versailles, Missouri in 1995. Mike and Janet joined St. Philip Benizi Catholic Church upon moving to Versailles. Mike had a long and successful career as an electric lineman and construction supervisor with Missouri Utilities, Union Electric (Ameren), and Kiowa Line Builders. He had a strong work ethic and passion for his work, from making house calls to solve electrical issues to post-hurricane response to help restore electrical power to millions of people after devastating hurricanes. Mike was a devoted family man who prioritized spending time and taking care of his family above all else. He was the best husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather to his family, which was his pride and joy. He showed unconditional love to his family and friends and always made sure to say drive safe and to make sure you have a coat. He was always a person everyone could count on and never hesitated to help anyone in need. In addition to enjoying time with family, he also enjoyed being outdoors, traveling, camping, yardwork, listening to music, keeping up with classmates, playing and watching baseball/softball, and cheering on his favorite sports team, the St. Louis Cardinals. In addition to his wife, Janet, those left to cherish memories of Mike include his children, Michelle L. Bass of Versailles, Missouri, Michael S. Mulcahy of Jefferson City, Missouri, and Marshall K. Mulcahy of Eureka, Missouri; grandchildren, Riley M. Terry (Brett Terry), Brody T. Bass, and McKenna L. Mulcahy; great grandchildren, Blake A. Terry and Reese K. Terry. Mike is survived by numerous other extended family and dear friends who held a special place in his heart. Mike was preceded in death by his parents. Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11:00 a.m., Saturday, December 14, 2024 at St. Philip Benizi Catholic Church, Versailles, MO. Burial will follow in Eldon City Cemetery, Eldon, MO. Visitation will be from 9:30-11:00 a.m., Saturday at the church. A luncheon will follow the burial at St. Philip Benizi Catholic Church. Memorial donations may be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Arrangements are under the care and direction of the Kidwell-Garber Funeral Home of Versailles. Our lives go on without you but nothing is the same we have to hide our heartache when someone speaks your name sad are the hearts that love you silent are the tears that fall living without you is the hardest part of all You did so many things for us Your heart was so kind and true And when we needed someone We could always count on you The special years will not return When we are all together But with the love in our hearts You walk with us forever
