Michael Wallace Pearson, age 74, a resident of Oso, passed away in the tragic mudslide of March 22, 2014.

Michael was born on June 29, 1939, in Camas, Washington, to Howard and Sally (Rancore) Pearson.

He served in the United States Marine Corps during the Viet Nam Conflict.  After returning, he served the City of Everett as a Police Officer until his retirement in 1988.  He moved to the Arlington area, settling in Oso in 1997, because of his love of the outdoor life, especially hunting and fishing.

Michael is survived by his daughters, Abbie Pearson and Julia Pearson, of Everett; grandchildren, Alissa, Kylie, Ashton, Austin, and Jaiden.

A Graveside Service will be held at 11:00 A.M. on Wednesday, April 16, 2014, at the Darrington Cemetery, with Linda Haddon, Celebrant.  Military Honors will be rendered by the Marine Corp and Everett Police Honor Guards.
