Michael Wayne Rampey Central, South Carolina January 28, 1952 – January 21, 2022 Written by his daughter Tina Golightly If he taught me one thing it was to speak my mind so I hope not to offend anyone with my honest epitaph. He was larger than life, always a kid at heart, frozen somewhere between a hormone raged teen and a legal adult. If you had the chance to know him then you know oh so well and oh the stories you can probably tell. He left us all with so many memories it will take another lifetime to recall them all. He loved life more than he loved women. All of them, as many as he could get his hands on, and he loved to tell all about them and show off his pictures. Oh boy did that old man quickly embrace the powers held by a cell phone or two, sometimes three depending on how many women he was juggling. He loved to share his experiences and his photos with almost anyone who would listen to all of his sordid tales. He lived life on his terms and seldom made any apologies for it, which was very frustrating for A LOT of people, especially the women who tried to reign him in. ‘he was loved and idolized by so many including his children and family beyond, but unfortunately his life wasn’t long enough for him to finally behold the importance of that above his lifelong quest for the perfect…… well you can probably guess that last part. His zest for life and carefree and sometimes reckless attitude will be missed by all those who knew and loved him. I just wish we could have him back for one more day. I’d give him one more run down that dragstrip. I’d give him one more great big hug and get one back. I’d listen to one more of his ridiculous stories, and I’d tell him one last time that I love him big as the world even though I gave him hell. Oh I’m going to miss you daddy I thought you were invincible and blink and you are gone. We will forever hold you in our hearts, and smile at each memory of you. Rest easy your journey is through!
