A Celebration of Life for
Michael L. Tillman
September 26, 1955 – January 13, 2015

On January 13, 2015 in the comfort of his home God called home one of his Soldiers Michael Lynn Tillman. Michael aka “Seymour” named by his childhood friends was the oldest of 7 children and he loved his family dearly. He was born and raised in Washington D.C. in the Southeast Public Housing Dwellings of Arthur Cappers. He attended the D.C. Public Schools of Giddings Elementary, Randall Junior High School and Western Senior High School. He later attended Shaw University and St. Augustine University before enlisting in the United States Navy to serve his country. When Michael successfully completed his duties for the U.S. Navy he joined his working family of Wiley and Rein Law Firm in Washington D.C. where he worked until his passing.
Michael had a quiet demeanor and a lot of patience. He could always be counted on for advice with just about any decision that bothered you. He was a “Die Hard” Redskins fan who had a passion for the latest technology. He enjoyed rebuilding computers and helped many people understand more about technology. He had a love for music especially Jazz.
Michael’s faith in God was strong and his love for his family great. He took great pleasure in being able to help his nieces and nephews in any way possible. To say that we will miss him is putting it mildly, because we all loved him so much.
Michael Lynn Tillman was born September 26, 1955 to Lena Estelle Farrar and Raymond Tillman. He is survived by his father Raymond Tillman, two brothers; Andre N. Tillman and Carlos E. Farrar; three sisters; Renee C. Tillman, Denise M. Hooker and Carlena R. Farrar. A Host of Nieces, Nephews, Great Nieces and Great Nephews.
