Michael Patrick Hoyt Obituary (1940

Michael Patrick Hoyt (Donohue), age 83, passed away peacefully, at his home in Yakima, Washington, on July 18, 2023, after fighting a years-long battle with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. He graduated from St. Joseph Marquette Catholic School, and served in the Army National Guard for 23 years. He retired from PP&L Pacificorp, after 30 plus years working in Astoria, Dayton, and the greater Yakima area, before working in Bozeman, Montana, and the hydropower startup, at Rimrock Lake. He was especially happy to help support a number of young people and families throughout his life, the latest being Shawna Spiker-Barfield and her two young children, who kept him smiling in his final years. He is preceded in death by parents, Chester and Lois Hoyt, wife, Shirley A. Hoyt, the mother of his children, Colleen OConnell, and infant, Michael Hoyt. He is survived by his children Shawn, Kevin, Brian, Rebecca, and Becky, ten grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren. He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him. Love you, Dad! Thank you for everything, but mostly for being you! A Graveside Service will be held on Friday, August 18, 2023, at 1:00pm, at Calvary Cemetery.
