Michael V. Kilmore (64), of New Cumberland died on Friday, October 9, 2026, surrounded by family after a courageous four-year journey with cancer. Michael faced the last four years with remarkable strength, grace and an unwavering spirit, never letting the illness define his days.
He was born on May 19, 1962, to the late Charles and Camille (Price) Kilmore.
He is survived by his devoted and loving wife of 31 years, Esther A. (Gerberich) and his beautiful daughter, Camille C (Dillon) Stuter, his brothers David J. of Dillsburg, Daniel C (Lucy) of Park Falls, WI, his sisters Tereas L Carroll (Timothy) of Dillsburg, Patricia J. Milliron (Shawn) of Punxsutawney and many cherished nephews and nieces.
Michael graduated from West Virginia University with a degree in Forestry. He worked at FedEx for 39 years where he was a respected colleague and made lasting relationships with his coworkers and customers.
Michael had a special way of connecting with people, and the many friends he made throughout his life will remember him for his sharp humor, cleverness, unique observations and biting wit. He brought much joy to his family, neighbors and friends’lives. He was truly unforgettable.
An avid motorcyclist, Michael spent decades exploring the country on his BMW motorcycle, often with his trusted wife, with friends or even solo. From the rugged coastlines to the red rocks of the Southwest, Mike crossed state lines with an adventurous heart and insatiable desire to see what was over the next hill. He had the privilege of traveling to all 50 states, creating lasting memories and experiencing the beauty and diversity of our country along the way.
An outdoorsman and an exceptionally skilled fisherman and marksman, Mike spent his life chasing the thrill of the next big catch and finding peace on the water. His true passion was muskie fishing, and his largest catch measured an impressive 57 inches. He enjoyed spending his time navigating the rivers of Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. His patience, deep respect for nature and an endless repository of fishing stories defined who he was to everyone who knew him.
A Tribute to an Unforgettable Person will be held Saturday, November 21, 2026 from 1pm to 4:30pm at the Lisburn Fire House social hall at 1800 Main St, Mechanicsburg, PA 17055.
