Michael Baskett Obituary
Michael Keith Baskett, 71, passed away peacefully on Friday, February 10, 2023
surrounded by his loving family.
He was a member of Oak Hill Baptist Church. He was a service member of the Tennessee National Guard. He worked over 20 years at Kingsport Press/Quebecor. Horses were his passion and the barn his castle. He also enjoyed many sports: softball, basketball, and golf.
Mike was a wonderful husband, father, brother, and son. Most of all he loved spending time with his wife of fifty years, Lisa, and his daughter and son-in-law.
Mike had a great sense of humor. He was a kindhearted, genuine, hardworking, and a loving man. He will be deeply missed by his family and friends.
He is survived by his loving wife of 50 years, Lisa; daughter, Amber Zahnd and husband Chris, along with many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his father, Ruble Baskett Sr.; his mother, Eva Brawner Baskett; sisters, Lorna Evans, Wilma Baskett, and Geneva Murray; brothers, Paula and Ruble Baskett, Jr.
Our family would like to thank everyone for their prayers and acts of kindness during this difficult time.
The family will receive friends from 5 – 7pm on Monday, February 13, 2023 at Hamlett Dobson Funeral Home, Fall Branch. A funeral service will follow with Pastor Jon Reed officiating. Graveside services will take place at 3pm on Tuesday, February 14, 2023 at Oak Hill Baptist Church Cemetery.
