Michael J. Truckey of Enterprise, Alabama changed his address at approximately 8:45 Thursday evening, August 12, 2021, from Springdale Avenue to Hallelujah Boulevard paved with gold. He was 77.
Funeral services will be at 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, August 18, 2021, at Sorrell Funeral Home and Crematory in Enterprise with Reverend John McCrummen officiating. Family will receive friends beginning at 1:00 p.m. and continue until time of service.
Michael was born on December 11, 1943, to the late Lawrence and Juanita Gallegos Truckey. He was a born-again believer in Jesus Christ and CEO of media at Open Door Baptist Church. He fought a battle between life and death and eternal life won. His greatest joy was his Savior, wife, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
He was never happier than when he was serving others. Michael was a Vietnam veteran, serving his country in the U.S. Army for 22 years. He went on to work as a contract employee at AFS on Fort Rucker for 20 years before he retired. He volunteered on the Enterprise Rescue Squad for over 10 years, and he was an Enterprise Reserve Police Officer for 20 years. During those years he was on call 24 hours a day to translate for all Law Enforcement Agencies in the local area. His red truck and lights could not be missed as he was on the scene of an accident, directing the Christmas Parade on Main Street, or on call all hours of the day and night to assist in any way possible. His joy was never more complete than when he had an opportunity to share Jesus with someone in trouble and pray for them before he left the scene.
Michael is survived by his wife, Patsy Truckey; daughter, Tracey Grotheer (Dieter); and son, Mario Truckey (Jennifer), all of Enterprise; four grandchildren, Brittany Dionne (Alex), Zachery Grotheer (Abby), Katlynn Cassels, and Amber Cassels; and four great-grandchildren.
