Michael D. Talley

Michael David Talley, age 63, passed away peacefully on November 9, 2026 following a brief illness. He was the beloved son of Carol Talley and the late Robert Talley. He was the loving brother of Ken Talley and Susan Robus (Jerry); amazing uncle and best friend of Tim Robus (Danielle); and most fun Uncle Mike to Maddox, Cayden, and Hadley. He is also survived by his loving cousin Debbie Pape (Jim), along with other cousins.

Mike is also survived by his amazing friend of 45 years Dave Sarcerdote (Laurie). Dave and Mike have shared such great times and created such amazing memories over all of those years and our family is beyond grateful that Mike had Dave in his life. We are also so appreciative of how Dave was with Mike every day during Mike's illness offering so much love and comfort.

One of Mike's greatest joys was spending time with family, especially at Disney World or the Jersey Shore. He captured such amazing photos and videos of the kids with his Go-Pro camera-his action shots were fantastic. Mike's other passion was music. He was an amazing saxophonist and also excelled at playing the flute and clarinet. We loved his time playing with the Ferko String Band. He then went onto teaching music. He absolutely loved teaching and sharing his passion with his students.

Michael-we know you are sharing your music in Heaven- we love you- until we all meet again.
