Michael Marc Chukwudumebi Rose

Michael Marc Chukwudumebi Rose, age 23, of Beaver Falls, PA, passed away on Tuesday, October 15, 2024.  Michael was born in Portharcourt, Nigeria, on July12, 2001, beloved son to Queen (Akparanta) and Daniel Rose; devoted brother to Zipporah Rose and Danielle Branstetter; cherished grandson to Comfort Akparanta; nephew to Flora Osho, Grace Akparanta, Ann Akparanta, Eugene Akparanta, Stephen Akparanta, Lambert Akparanta, Godwin Akparanta, and Richard Adaurhere; cousin to many in the U.S. and Africa.  Michael was proud of his dual heritage and hoped to one day further explore the African side of his family.  Michael and his sister made trips to Nigeria for family events.

At a very young age, Michael became interested in American and World History.  This led to a future goal of becoming a jet pilot in the United States Air Force.  Unfortunately, Michael’s sight had to be corrected in grade school, yet he was still determined to serve in the Air National Guard.  Michael was deployed to different countries in the Middle East with his NG Unit.  He secured a job on the air base and was very happy with his military and civilian assignments.  Michael was a wonderful son, brother, grandson, uncle, and nephew, and may he rest in peace.
