Michael Keith Baskett

Michael Keith Baskett, 71, passed away peacefully on Friday, February 10, 2023

surrounded by his loving family.

 

He was a member of Oak Hill Baptist Church.  He was a service member of the Tennessee National Guard.  He worked over 20 years at Kingsport Press/Quebecor.  Horses were his passion and the barn his castle. He also enjoyed many sports: softball, basketball, and golf.

 

Mike was a wonderful husband, father, brother, and son.  Most of all he loved spending time with his wife of fifty years, Lisa, and his daughter and son-in-law.

 

Mike had a great sense of humor.  He was a kindhearted, genuine, hardworking, and a loving man. He will be deeply missed by his family and friends.

 

He is survived by his wife, Lisa; daughter, Amber Zahnd; son-in-law, Chris Zahnd; as well as many nieces and nephews. 

 

He was preceded in death by his father, Ruble Baskett Sr.; his mother, Eva Brawner Baskett; sisters, Lorna Evans, Wilma Baskett, and Geneva Murray; brothers, Paula and Ruble Baskett, Jr.

Our family would like to thank everyone for their prayers and acts of kindness during this difficult time.

 

The family will receive friends from 5 – 7pm on Monday, February 13, 2023 at Hamlett Dobson Funeral Home, Fall Branch.  A funeral service will follow with Pastor Jon Reed officiating.  Graveside services will take place at 3pm on Tuesday, February 14, 2023 at Oak Hill Baptist Church Cemetery.
