Michael David Bagby, 57 years old, died peacefully surrounded by his family, at the University of Virginia Medical Center in Charlottesville, VA on Thursday, November 7, 2019 after a heroic battle with Pulmonary Fibrosis.  Mike was born January 7, 1962 in Denver, CO, to Maxine Poulton and the late Joel Bagby.  Mike graduated from Wroxeter High School in Arnold, MD in 1980 and graduated with a BA in Psychology from Lynchburg College in 1984.  Mike worked most of his adult life for Northrup Grumman until he retired in 2018, and most recently for the Commonwealth of Virginia, Information Technologies Agency.

Our father was devoted to his family. Many considered him an underrated comedian, making all those around him giggle. He was a movie and music encyclopedia and had many hobbies including boating and crabbing. Michael showed selflessness and courage, as he provided the ultimate gift of organ donation, saving the lives of two others.

Mike is survived by his college sweetheart and beloved wife of 30 years, Susan Reinsberg Bagby; his children Kelly Bagby, Robert Bagby, and Lindsay Bagby – all of Midlothian, VA; his mother Maxine Poulton; his sisters, Robyn Bagby, Kelly Bagby, Beth Bell, and Claire Carton; his mother and father in law, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Reinsberg; his brother-in-law, William Reinsberg; and his sister-in-law, Catherine Reinsberg Burton; his nieces and nephews, Katie Fuller, Robert Reinsberg, Annie Burton, James Burton, Scott, Burton, Kin Moroney, and Aysia Moroney.

The family would like to thank the doctors and nurses of the UVA Pulmonary Unit for their excellent medical care of Mike during his final days and for their compassionate bedside manner with his family.

A memorial service will be held at Salisbury Presbyterian Church, Wednesday, November 13 at 11AM.  A reception for family and friends follows at the home of Alicia & Richard Miller, 13900 Whitechapel Road, Midlothian.
