Michael Charles Duckworth

Michael Charles Duckworth- 24
Of Quitman, Georgia passed away on Wednesday, January 16, 2025, at South Georgia Medical Center. He was born to James Moses Duckworth and Vannessa Joyce Bates Dean on November 18, 2000, in Moultrie, Georgia. Michael had a deep love for music and enjoyed long conversations on the phone. His hands were his gift. He was able to fix just about anything that needed repair. He cherished the time spent with his siblings, but nothing compared to the bond he shared with his son, who was the center of his world. Michael's kindness and generosity knew no bounds; he was the type of person who would take the shirt off his back to help someone in need. His authenticity and heartfelt nature left a lasting impression on everyone he encountered. He is preceded in death by his great aunt, Nora Rowe and numerous aunts and uncles.
