Southern
Charm
has
lost
a
beloved
star.
Michael
Kelcourse,
who
appeared
on
the
Bravo
series
for
years
as
Patricia
Altschul‘s
butler
and
right-hand
man,
has
died
at
the
age
of
71
following
a
spinal
cord
injury
and
stroke.
“It
is
with
great
sadness
that
we
announce
the
peaceful
passing
of
our
beloved
Michael,
who
left
us
yesterday
morning
in
Sarasota,”
Patricia
announced
in
an
Oct.
23
Instagram
post
honoring
the
71-year-old. “More
than
just
a
devoted
butler,
he
was
a
trusted
friend,
confidant,
and
member
of
our
family
for
over
20
years.”
The
83-year-old
continued, “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.”
