Michael enjoyed attending live music and theater performances, as well as traveling with his family to destinations including Walt Disney World, the Caribbean and Alaska. A long-time member of the Presbyterian Church of Fredericksburg, Michael cherished honoring his country and serving others through mentorship and volunteer service in organizations such as Boy Scouts of America.

Michael joins his daughter Megan Ramsburg; as well as his parents, William and Mildred; and brothers Bill and Tom in eternal peace. Survivors include his wife of 42 years, Jeanne Dizer Ramsburg; son Scott Ramsburg along with his wife Laura Jane and their son Devon; extended family including sisters-in-law Helga and Carol Ramsburg; nieces and nephews including the Ramsburg, Lovett and Queen families; and family member John Maresco.
