Michael T Cuthbertson

Michael T. Cuthbertson, 80, of Tucson, Arizona passed away peacefully on December 30th, 2024 surrounded by loved ones. 

Michael was born on October 31st, 1944 in New Orleans, Louisiana to Bertha Prewitt and Jordan Cuthbertson. He graduated from Oklahoma University in 1966 and went on to work for the Social Security Administration. 

Michael was known for his adventurous spirit, whether playing the guitar, piloting a plane, exploring dirt roads or traveling throughout Mexico. He lived life to the fullest in spite of lifelong disabilities caused by childhood polio. 

Those who knew Michael will remember his intelligence and wit and his gentle and caring nature. Those who knew him best knew he’d often be happiest just spending time with friends and family at whatever fast food restaurant had the best “senior deal” of the day. 

Michael is survived by his son Jeff Cuthbertson (Kiana), his daughter Karime, grandchildren Aneasa, Emelia, Malcolm and Ethan, brother Ronald, and nephew Randall (Yvonne). He was preceded in death by his mother Bertha Prewitt and father Jordan Cuthbertson. 

A memorial service will be held on 1/17/25 from 4 to 6PM at Avenidas Cremation and Burial at 1376 W St Marys Rd, Tucson, AZ 85745. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to a charity of your choosing.
