In 1988 Asheville, North Carolina welcomed home twin boys, Michael Joseph and David Timothy to loving parents Teresa Gentry Dutcher and the late David Dutcher (2005). With a Proud but broken heart, Asheville once again welcomes home her son, Cpl Michael Joseph Dutcher.
A 2007 graduate of Asheville High School, Cpl. Dutcher was a member of the marching band and an Outstanding member of the Marine Corps JROTC. He was engaged to be married to Ms. Rachel Adams.
Cpl Michael Joseph Dutcher arrived at the Asheville Regional Airport on Wednesday 21 September at approx. 1000. We are honored to stand with Cpl Dutcher through his final formation on Friday, 23 September when he can rest peacefully with his Brothers and Sisters at the Western Carolina State Veterans Cemetery.
Please excuse the following Cadets at 1110 today to represent Madison High School and show the family of this fallen Marine that all of Madison send their love, prayers, and thoughts in their time of need.
