This is the official obituary that will go out:
On Tuesday, January 12, 2021, Michael Champion, nurse, husband, brother, friend,
and mentor, passed away.
Michael was born in Plymouth, Indiana on August 15, 1954. He received his
bachelor’s degree in Nursing and was Director of Nursing for the Park in Plano.
Michael loved being a nurse and always put his patients first.
Michael was a natural entertainer, his alter ego, Sable Alexander, could high
kick to the heavens. He loved raising money for the community and was always
there with a helping hand, a kind word and sometimes when needed, a raised
eyebrow. He loved collecting anything Garfield and Lucille Ball. He had one room
dedicated to his favorite entertainer and had even gotten her VitaMeataVegaMin
skit down to a tee. Michael was known for his quick wit, beautiful smile, and
compassionate love of life.
The love of Michael's life was his partner and husband of 33 years, Bill
Lindsey. Together they entertained all over Texas and the US, raising money for
various groups and individuals. They loved to travel, especially to Maui.
Michael is survived by his husband Bill Lindsey, his sister Barbara Richmond and
too many friends to name. You know who you are.
A Celebration of Life will be scheduled at a later time. In lieu of flowers,
Bill asks that a donation be made to the Miss Gay Texas State Pageant System via
their Venmo account at MissGayTexas-State.
