Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.
Michael David Shamrock, Sr., age 59, of Senoia, passed away February 11, 2018.
Mike was born on October 19, 1958 in Long Island, NY. In his early childhood his family moved to Wisconsin, then to Palm Beach, FL and they finally settled in Fayetteville in 1969. Mike lived in Fayette County ever since. He attended Fayette County High School and began framing houses at a young age. He became a professional framer, even owning and running a successful framing company, Shamrock Contracting, which he opened in 1985. He had a local impact by framing many homes and neighborhoods in Fayette and Coweta counties.
Mike met his wife-to-be, Denise, in August of 1982. After a whirlwind romance, the two were married on July 14, 1984. The couple had two sons, both of whom made Mike very proud. He was very much a family man and provider. He enjoyed all types of sports and was very athletic. He loved to fish, shoot pool, and was a corn hole champion. Mike loved his wife, sons and grandchildren. He was affectionately known as “Papa Sham” to those who loved him. He will be missed by many friends and family members.
Mike was preceded in death by his parents: William and Kathryn Lee; brothers, Mark Steven Shamrock and Douglas Harold Shamrock. Mike is survived by his loving wife: Denise Shamrock of Senoia; sons and daughters-in-law: Michael David and Erika Shamrock of Brooks, and Thomas Steven and Marianne Shamrock of Senoia; grandchildren: Riley, Bently, Kinsley, and a granddaughter due April 2018, Madison; siblings: Laura Lee Shamrock and her husband Jeff Clifton of Brooks, Mya Lee Carden and her husband Barry Carden of Brooks, and Joseph Francis Shamrock, Jr. of Fayetteville. Mike is also survived by many nieces and nephews.
A Celebration of Life will be held in Mike’s honor at a later date.
The Shamrock family is being assisted by Georgia Cremation, 1086 Hwy 54 West, Fayetteville. Messages of condolence may be left at www.GeorgiaCremation.com.

So glad we met the Shamrock’s and we have all become part of each other’s lives. We’ll never forget what a fun loving, kind and generous man Mike was. He will be greatly missed by us and anyone’s life he touched. Just wondering if the next corn hole tournament he and I are in, if he’ll finally give me an AARP discount on the entry fee. We love and miss you

I don’t what to say, Mike was like family to us and the whole Shamrock family, seems like we have know y’all forever. I’m going to miss seeing Mike at Charlie’s buying those scratch off tickets and asking me up Dan-o? Hey Mikie you were by my side a few minutes ago, I was telling Charlie you passed away and while I was scratching I won a thousand, I never buy any tickets anymore, thank you my friend you will always be in my heart and prayers. I could always count on you to help me out when I needed it. We had a lot of laughs over the years.
Denise, anything you ever need please called, love you all

The Moss Family says
Mike was more than just a neighbor, he was apart of our family. And he always treated us just like we were his family. When you live next to someone for 30 years, you definitely become apart of each other’s lives. Birthdays, graduations, weddings, funerals, and any other life event, our family and the Shamrock family have always been there for each other. Mike was definitely a very giving person, and was always willing to do anything for you, no matter what, no matter when. We cherish the time that we had with him, and we pray for peace and comfort for the Shamrocks in the coming months and years without him. We love you all!
