Michael Little, a native of Hazard, Kentucky, died at his residence on Wednesday, February 18, 2026, the Engle‑Bowling Funeral Home obituary reports. The funeral home's posting begins with the line, “Michael Little born November 13, 1963 departed this life on Wednesday – February 18, 2026 at his residence, being 62‑years old.”

The obituary notes Little was born in Hazard and names his parents in its opening biographical line: “Michael was born in Hazard, Kentucky the son of the late Elmo Little and the late Janette Little.” Engle‑Bowling's account lists his birthdate as November 13, 1963 and confirms his hometown as Hazard.

Engle‑Bowling records who preceded Little in death and who survives him. The notice states, “Other than his parents, Michael was also preceded in death by his two brothers, Ralph Little, and David Little.” It then lists survivors: “Michael Little leaves the following relatives to cherish his memory: life partner, Deloris Allen; step‑son, Christopher Allen; step daughter, Jamie Allen; brother, Donald Little; grandchildren, Mackenzie Allen, McKyra Allen, Teagan Lowe.”

Funeral arrangements are being handled by Engle‑Bowling Funeral Home in Hazard, and the obituary explicitly states, “No Services at this time.” The funeral home's page repeats, “Engle‑Bowling Funeral Home in charge of arrangements,” and offers the family’s online sympathy options including the instruction, “To send a flower arrangement in memory of Michael Little, please click here to visit our sympathy store.”

The Engle‑Bowling notice was syndicated on Legacy and posted there on February 19, 2026; Legacy's page frames the posting with visitor features and the prompt, “Be the first to post a memory or condolences.” Both the funeral home and the syndication page include interactive calls to action that appeared on the postings: “Send Flowers,” “Send Sympathy Card,” “Plant Trees,” “Guestbook … Sign the Guestbook … Share your thoughts and memories of Michael,” and a set of tribute candle options.

The obituary does not list a cause of death or a specific residence address. Engle‑Bowling’s posting gives the confirmed facts about his birth date, date of death, family survivors, and the current status of services; Legacy's syndication page also invites visitors to “Get email updates whenever changes are made.” The funeral home’s and Legacy’s memorial pages will carry any future updates to arrangements or additional remembrances as the family or Engle‑Bowling chooses to post them.
