Charles 'Mike' Durham

April 1, 1959 — April 27, 2025

New Washington

Charles Micheal ‘Mike’ Durham, 66, of New Washington, IN. passed away at Baptist Health Floyd on Sunday, April 27, 2025.  He was born in Jeffersonville, IN., on April 1, 1959, to the late Charles William and Norma Juanita Bales Durham.

Mike was a professional painter who loved riding his motorcycle, cracking jokes, and trying his luck at the casino. Known for his infectious humor and outgoing nature, he never met a stranger and could strike up a conversation with anyone. He loved all kinds of music—and if you were one of the lucky ones, he might even treat you to one of his legendary twerks, guaranteed to leave everyone around laughing.

In addition to his parents, Mike was preceded in death by his siblings, Karen Hooker Abbott, Gregory Allen Durham, and Billy Ray Durham Sr.; his nephew, Billy Ray Durham Jr.; and niece, Devon Durham.

Mike is survived by his children, Charlene Michelle Durham and Charles Micheal Durham Jr; his sister, Sandra ‘Sandi’ Hooker Gaither and husband, Charles Edward; his fiancé, Sherry Deaton; grandchildren, Jaelyn Lee, Marc Thompson, Lailah Miller, Christian Leach, Carson Leach, and Asher Caudill; nieces, Tabatha Wheeler, Juanita Strickland, Gloria Darst, Kimberly Pierce, Cindy Durham, Sara Durham, and Brenda Blackwell; nephews, James Edward Strickland, Douglas Junior Coursey, and Damon Eisenbach; stepdaughter, Rebecca Dodd; and stepsons, Stan Deaton and Chris Deaton; along with a host of extended family and friends.
