Gifts & Memorial Donations



Michael R. Herman, 45, of Williamsburg, passed away on Oct. 19, 2012.

Michael was raised in Garden Grove, CA. He served as a Nuclear Officer in the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program. After his time in the United States Navy, he moved to Virginia to marry, work, and raise a family.

Michael is survived by his wife, Carolyn Herman and three children, Ariel, John and Amanda Herman of Williamsburg. He is also survived by his parents, Richard and Margaret Herman of Leesburg, FL.

Michael enjoyed walking his dog, Taffy and surprising people with his dry sense of humor. He enjoyed spending time with his children and watching them grow into amazing teenagers and young adults. He loved books, history and Christmas. Above all else, though, Michael loved his family. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorial contributions be made to the Heritage Humane Society.

    "What we have once enjoyed, We can never lose. All that we love deeply Becomes a part of us forever." May strength, comfort and peace come to the entire Herman family. I pray for special angels to walk alongside this family in their grief.
