Michael David Atchley

Beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend, Michael David Atchley, passed away peacefully in his sleep on the morning of May 28, 2025, at his home.

Services were held on Monday, June 2, 2025, at Anna St. Church of Christ in Amarillo with Nathan Keller, minister, officiating. Graveside services were also held on Monday in Memory Gardens Cemetery.

Mike is preceded in death by his parents, Eva Jean Rhodes Atchley and Don Atchley; his brother, Gary Don Atchley; and his best friend, Frank Thompson – all of whom he now rests.

He proudly served as a fireman at Pantex for 34 years, where his courage, steady presence, and heart for others made a lasting impact. Mike had a way of showing up when it mattered – he took care of people without ever needing to be asked.

He loved the game of golf, his Dallas Cowboys, and the deep friendships he shared at The Cedar Shack, where laughter and loyalty were always on tap.

Mike is survived by his wife of 31 years, Glenna Atchley; his children, Michelle and husband Bryan Jolly, Jody Atchley, Jason Mays and wife Sara, Justin Mays, and Amber and husband Daniel Pacheco; 12 grandchildren; two nieces and one nephew; and his faithful companion, Sammy, his loving and loyal dog.

Mike’s legacy lives on in the lives he touched – through service, his love and his quiet but powerful way of always being there when you needed him.
