Michael Dean Legg's Obituary
Michael Dean Legg, age 82, passed away on March 5, 2026, in Carbondale, Illinois.
Mike was born on September 1, 1943, in Vinita, Oklahoma, to Eldon and Parthena (Moore) Legg. He was raised in a farming family alongside his four brothers.
Mike graduated from Centralia High School before attending Oklahoma Christian College, where he met the love of his life, Sharon Martin. The two were married for 56 years until Sharon’s passing in 2019.
