Prayers and heartfelt condolences to the family. I knew Michael from school and met him again in 2018, when we had to be evacuated to Knightdale High School in Wake County from Pamlico County for Hurricane Florence. He was a nice man, friendly, neatly dressed and very humorous! I would often see him at Walmart and he would always speak to me. Michael Merritt, RIPπŸ™πŸ½πŸ™πŸ½πŸ™πŸ½ Ruth Jones Ligon
