Life story

Michael Raye Ferchalk, 27, of Peoria, AZ and formerly of Palmyra, PA tragically passed away in a motorcycle accident in Arizona on Tuesday, October 20, 2020.

Born October 1, 1993 in Johnstown, he was a son of Paul Ferchalk and Korbi L. (Haire) Evans, wife of Eugene all of Palmyra. Mike is also survived by his sister Georgia Ferchalk; brother Joshua Ferchalk; step brothers Joshua Evans, Bradley Evans, and Jordan, husband of Elsie Evans; grandfather Lewis Haire; nieces Rylie and Karleigh; nephews Adam and Austin; several aunts, uncles, and cousins; and too many close friends to list.

He was preceded in death by his maternal grandmother Barbara Haire and paternal grandparents George and Dorothy Ferchalk.

A 2012 graduate of Palmyra High School, he had been attending flight school, loved riding motorcycle, the outdoors, and hiking, especially with his dog Leia. Mike’s spirit and passion touched many lives in his lifetime.

A remembrance gathering will be held for family and friends from 1:00 – 5:00 PM Saturday, November 14, 2020 at the Campbelltown Fire Hall, 2818 Horseshoe Pike, Campbelltown with refreshments. A private family service will be held at the funeral home.
