Michael Colton Brantham

Michael Brantham, 32, of Mansfield, Ohio, passed away, suddenly, early Sunday morning, March 17, 2024.

He was born on March 30, 1991, in Orlando, Florida, but lived in Mansfield, Ohio where he worked for the Wayne Dalton corporation, based in Cleveland.

Michael’s infectious laughter was his hallmark, and he will be remembered fondly by his family and friends as a person who lived each day with joy.

As an avid San Francisco 49ers and Golden State Warriors fan, Michael loved spending time with his family, and listening to music at all times of the day.

Left to cherish Michael’s memory are his mother, Christina Brantham of Massillon, Ohio, his father, Kip Cade and stepmother, Yolanda Cade of Orlando, Florida, and his beloved fiancé Brittany Knight, the mother of his baby girl, Olivia Brantham.

Michael is survived by two beautiful daughters, Maleah and Aaliyah Brantham of Mansfield, Ohio, and stepchildren, David Biggers, Cheyenne Biggers, and Alyssa Knight of Mansfield, Ohio. He leaves behind two sisters, Chantelle Cade of Des Moines, Iowa, and Hillary Hart of Stilwell, Oklahoma, and two brothers, Christian and Antonio Antunez of Massillon, Ohio - and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, and life-long friends that he considered brothers and sisters from childhood.

Visitation will be held from 1:00pm to 3:00pm on Friday, March 29, 2024 at Paquelet Funeral Home in Massillon. A celebration of life service will follow at 3:00pm with Dr. Roger Alber officiating.
