On Friday morning, January 27, 2023, Michael Parnell Barlow peacefully transitioned from earth to glory.

Michael was born January 17, 1968, in Chicago to Frank and Mary Barlow. He received his formal education and graduated from Wendell Phillips High School.

Michael "B-Low" was employed with American Airlines for 33 years until his retirement in 2022. He was a dedicated, hardworking, and caring person to all. He loved with all his heart and soul. He was very easy going and soft spoken. He was funny and can make you laugh until you cry. If you needed him, he was there. His sense of humor and smile will be missed by everyone. He loved watching sports. He was an avid fan of the Chicago Bears and WWE; and also enjoyed watching the Little Rascals.

He was the youngest of six children and was preceded in death by both his parents; and brother, Anthony. He leaves in God care to cherish his memories: Tisa (Dedicated Life Partner); Michael Jr., (Son); Aniyla and Heaven (granddaughters); Henry (brother); E D, Donna and Sondra (sisters); and a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, friends and his American Airlines family.
