MICHAEL KENT CAVERLY Captain, USN, SC, (Ret.) —
Michael Kent Caverly, 81 years old, died at his home on December 16, 2014 after more than twelve years of courageous struggle with Parkinsonism and associated Lewy Body Dementia. These conditions were judged to be the result of exposure to the herbicide Agent Orange during his Naval service in Vietnam in 1966-67.
Mike was born on May 24, 1933 in DuBois, PA, to Noel Benedict Caverly and Margaret Beadle Caverly. He was the eldest of four siblings and raised in Shickshinny, PA, attending Dartmouth College and Ohio State University for his undergraduate studies as an NROTC student. In 1969, he obtained his MBA from Stanford University. Mike married Ingrid Johnson Caverly of Ypsilanti, MI, in 1959 and together they had three children: Megan Elora Caverly, Erin Kathleen Caverly Kuhn and Michael Tiffin Caverly; and five grandchildren. He was a career Naval Officer, retiring from active duty in 1983, followed by an additional eight year career with TRW in Fairfax, VA. Mike and Ingrid moved to Gettysburg, PA, in 1994, where he served on the local Boards of Directors for the Military Officers Association of America, and Habitat for Humanity.
Services will be conducted and interment will occur at Arlington National Military Cemetery in Arlington, VA at a date to be determined. For more information, please visit monahanfuneralhome.com
