Robert Michael McCormick

Robert “Mike” McCormick, born September 7, 1946, passed away on April 25, 2026, at UPMC Western Maryland.

Mike was a hardworking man, a proud military veteran who served in the National Guard, and a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He was a 1964 graduate of Valley High School and retired from CSX as a bridge inspector. He then fulfilled a lifelong dream of owning a tractor-trailer. He spent his life caring for and providing for his family.

Those who knew Mike will remember his strong work ethic, loyalty to family and friends, love for animals, and the many memories made while on camping trips. He had a special place in his heart for his dogs over the years.

Mike is survived by his loving wife of over 52 years, Gail (Barnard) McCormick; his daughter, Michelle Green and Brian; his son, Michael McCormick and Chanda; his grandchildren, Evan Green, Adam Green, Carly Metz and Meshach, Macklin McCormick, and Lilly McCormick; and his great-grandchildren, Theo and Lyra.

He is also survived by his sister, Pat Haines and Dave; his cousin, Norm Guthrie, who was more like a brother and Margie; his close friend, Larry Russell; his sisters-in-law, Carla Boone, Sue Barnard, Debbie Hartman, numerous nieces and nephews and his beloved dog, Pixie.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Marie and Oris McCormick, and his dogs, Benji, Daisy, and Princess.

Mike will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who knew him.
