Michael Loyd Wakefield Obituary

We are sad to announce that on June 11, 2020 we had to say goodbye to Michael Loyd Wakefield of Las Vegas, Nevada. Michael was born on October 25, 1949 in Oak Ridge, TN where he resided until joining the US Navy at the age of 17. He was a graduate of Oak Ridge High School, class of 1967. His 20 plus years with the Navy provided him with his desire to travel the world. He was assigned to the Submarine USS Daniel Webster (SSBN-626), where he had various duty locations that included Virginia, Maine, Hawaii, and Guam. His final location was San Diego, CA, where he met his wife and soulmate Yolanda. They relocated to Las Vegas, NV where he completed another retirement with MagTech Electronics.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Loyd and Geraldine Wakefield, and his Brother, Larry Richard Wakefield, of Oak Ridge TN.
Survivors: Wife, Yolanda Wakefield, Sons, Phillip Michael Wakefield and Chris Cannon (Jennifer) of Las Vegas, NV. Sister, Deborah Glisson of Knoxville, TN, and his Uncle, Joe Keathley (Charlotte) of Oak Ridge, TN. He also has many loving cousins, nieces, and nephews. He will be greatly missed.

“I was shocked when I heard of you passing. My heart goes out to your wife and sons. I only met you a few times when I was younger, but you seemed so loving and light hearted and I know my pappaw loved you. I'm sure he was there waiting for you at the Gates of Heaven with open arms. It just doesn't seem real. Found this picture on Facebook and saved it. My condolences to the family and I know you are greatly missed, but at least you aren't suffering anymore.”
