NATICK - Michael J. Melville , 63, of Natick, died Wednesday, June 20, 2007, at his home, surrounded by his family, after a heroic fivemonth battle with lung cancer.
He was the husband of Marilyn J. (Ash) Melville .

Known as a man who gave of himself unselfishly to his friends and neighbors, he spent his entire life quietly helping others.
Proud of his family, Mr. Melville was a devoted husband, loving father he and cherished and adored his two grandchildren.
Besides his wife, he leaves two children, Michael J. Melville Jr. and his wife, Paula, of Boylston and Michelle J.
