IN LOVING MEMORY
Michael Wayne McAlister, 55, and Laura Anne McAlister, 57, a devoted couple of Princeton, passed away tragically together on Thursday, September 25, 2025, in Caldwell County. Their bond in life was unbreakable, and it remained so in passing.
Michael was born on May 19, 1970, in Princeton to his parents, Earl Wayne and Gail McAlister of Dawson Springs, while Laura was born on September 13, 1968, in Madisonville to her father, Robert Littlepage of Madisonville, and her late mother, Dorothy Littlepage.
Michael proudly served his country as a veteran of the United States Navy, where he once survived being struck by lightning during active duty, a story he often shared with humility and humor. After his service, he continued to serve his community as a retired unit administrator for the Western Kentucky State Correctional Complex. A proud member of the Princeton VFW, Michael was known for his love of the outdoors, especially goose hunting, and for the unwavering support he offered his parents throughout their lives.
Laura retired from Walmart in Princeton as the electronics department manager. Known for her sharp mind and warm personality, she was a beloved co-worker and friend to many. Together, Michael and Laura shared a passion for riding motorcycles, often joining rides as active members of the Four Rivers HOG Chapter in Paducah. They were also longtime members of Moose Lodge #285, where they enjoyed the fellowship of many close friends.
The McAlisters were inseparable partners in all aspects of life. One of their proudest shared accomplishments was raising prize-winning labradors, a testament to their love for animals and the care they put into everything they did. Their presence will be deeply missed by all who knew them, but the memory of their love and the lives they touched will endure.
They are survived by their son, Michael "Brandon" McAlister of Princeton; Laura's sister, Debra Vankirk of Madisonville; Michael's sister, Kimberly (Kevin) Shepard of Custer; Laura's three brothers, William "Randy" (Gloria) Littlepage of Nortonville, Robert Douglas Littlepage of Madisonville, James Wesley (Tammy) Littlepage of Goodlettsville, TN; several nieces and nephews.
In addition to Laura's mother, they were preceded in death by Laura's brother, Michael Owen Littlepage.
