Michael Langsdorf

Rev. Mr. Michael Langsdorf, 72, passed away peacefully on Monday, April 6, 2026, at Forsyth Medical Center, surrounded by the love of his family. Born on August 22, 1953, in Pennsylvania to the late Francis and Eleanor Geno Langsdorf, Michael lived a life rooted in faith, family, and service. 

As an ordained Deacon in the Catholic Church, he dedicated himself to serving others with compassion, humility, and a steady sense of purpose. Michael was, above all, a devoted husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, and friend. For 52 years, he shared a deep and enduring love with his wife, Mary, building a life centered on family, laughter, and unwavering support. He found his greatest joy in the moments spent together—whether gathered around the table, traveling in their RV, or simply enjoying the outdoors he loved so much. He had a passion for gardening, fishing, and camping, and he rarely missed an opportunity to be outside. Known for his quick wit and playful spirit, Michael had a gift for making others smile—especially through his well-timed (and often well-rehearsed) dad jokes.

He leaves behind a legacy of love in his children: Michael Langsdorf (Molly), Amanda Reilly (Robert), Matthew Langsdorf (Nicole), and Beth Morris (Will). He was a proud and loving grandfather to Miracle, Jaeda, Julia, Maryn, Ashley, Kaitlyn, Buddy, Bradley, Anthony, Andrew, and Theo, and a great-grandfather to Eloise, Fergus, Elora, and Lincoln. Michael is also survived by his brother, Francis Langsdorf (Connie); his sisters, Nancy Knappenberger (Alton) and Lisa Cloran (Scott); as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins, and his beloved dog, Anya—affectionately known as “Munchkin.” 

A Funeral Mass will be held at Divine Redeemer Catholic Church in Boonville, NC, on Monday, April 13, 2026, at 12:00 pm, with a visitation for family and friends taking place one hour prior to the service. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorial donations be made in Michael’s honor to Food For The Poor (www.foodforthepoor.org), reflecting his lifelong commitment to helping those in need. Michael will be deeply missed and forever remembered for his faith, his humor, and the love he so freely gave to everyone around him.
