Michael David Albert, age 36, of Lexington, son of Bob and Ada Albert, of Morehead, passed away Saturday, June 20, 2020, surrounded by his loving family.

He was born December 18, 1983, in Morehead.

He was preceded in death by grandparents Arlene and Bob Albert Sr. and Lena Myrtle Derrickson.

Michael's happiest moments were times spent with family and friends. Whether traveling, going to concerts, participating in game nights, going to Reds games, or working, he always valued being around the people he loved. He also enjoyed fly fishing, music, and reading-- continuously expanding his incredibly bright mind.

Those who knew Michael appreciated his constant quick wit and ease for talking with anyone. He brought energy to rooms and had an entertaining and positive presence wherever he was. Michael was a very loved son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin, uncle, and friend. He will be remembered for his selfless acts of kindness and attention to others' needs, along with his ability to lift the spirits of those around him with laughter and love.
