Patricia Altschul has revealed the passing of Michael Kelcourse, her longtime butler. The Southern Charm matriarch announced on Instagram Wednesday (October 23) that her former butler had died the day before, just over a week after his 71st birthday. “It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of our beloved Michael, who left us yesterday morning in Sarasota.

More than just a devoted butler, he was a trusted friend, confidant, and member of our family for over 20 years,” Patricia shared on Instagram. “Michael’s time on Southern Charm endeared him to many, as his humor and kindness quickly made him a fan favorite.

Over the past two weeks, he was deeply touched by the incredible number of cards and well-wishes from fans. I’ve been told there were hundreds, and they brought him immense joy during his final days.” “I will be devoting this week to remembering Michael.

I know he meant so much to so many of you, as he did to us. He will be greatly missed,” she concluded. Michael became a fan-favorite on Southern Charm over the years, until he had to retire from working for Patricia in 2021 after suffering a spinal stroke that left him paralyzed.
