Michael Walter Irving, the son of the late Walter and Elizabeth Irving, was born May 9, 1960. He passed away after a brief illness on January 11, 2007. Michael attended Baltimore City Public Schools to obtain his educational sklls. He was what you might call self-employed. Whenever you needed something done around the house, or from the store Michael would do it willingly. Michael loved being around his family and enjoyed chit-chatting with everyone. He especially enjoyed talking about and spending time with his thirteen nieces and nephews; whom all brought joy and love to his life. His favorite song was ''Mr. Telephone Man'' by New Edition and whenever he heard this song, he would start dancing and singing like he was one of the group members. Michael leaves to cherish his memory: brother, Norman Jackson-Bey; two sisters, Jacqueline Jackson-Brown and Patricia Irving; uncle, Carroll Jackson; aunt Dorothy Johnson; two special sisters that loved and adopted him, Renee McLeod and Daphanie Roseborough; and a host of other relatives and friends.
