Michael Newland Tidwell

July 28, 1992 ~ July 5, 2023

Atlanta, Georgia
Resided in:
Auburn, Georgia
Michael was a loving and devoted son, brother, uncle, and friend. He was genuine and kind. He loved deep conversations and looking at things from different perspectives. As a teenager, Michael was active in his church community. He played the guitar, put on skits for the youth group, and went on mission trips. Michael graduated with honors from Archer High School in 2012. He enjoyed playing cello in the orchestra, participating in ComedySportz, and excelling in AP and college-level calculus classes.
He continued the math track and earned a B.S. in Pure Mathematics from Georgia Gwinnett College in 2017. He was enthusiastic about working as a Compliance Analyst for Madison Consulting, as his work offered the opportunity to develop solutions through mathematical thinking. Other passions of Michael’s include comedy, interesting and unusual facts, video games, and his Rubik’s Cube collection.
Michael is survived by his parents, John and Sandy Tidwell; brothers, Jon (Kate), Sam (Claire), Garrett (fiancée Maggie); nieces, Charleigh, Ella, Cara, and Ruby; and nephews, Evan, Jake, and Charles, as well as many dear friends.

Oh Michael!!!
How you made me laugh and you lit up the room with humility and sometimes silly demeanor. You are an amazing soul and by Gods grace I hope to giggle and talk nerdy math things with you again soon

I had the simple privilege of sitting behind Michael for half an hour long study time every day of my sophomore year in high school. We became buddies. He patiently taught me how to solve a Rubik’s cube. He asked me questions about my recently acquired faith. He made me think. Truly, he challenged me and pushed me to read by Bible more. He was almost always the brightest part of my day. And it was entirely formational. I owe a lot to the work of God through him in my life that year. I wish we had stayed in touch. I’m heartbroken at the loss of an old friend. I hope to see him again on that endless day.
