Son of Jeanette and David. Devoted husband for 57 years to Carol. Adored father to Robyn Schadick (Kevin) and Neil Kellner (Kristen). Beloved Papa to Brayden Kellner, Isabella Kellner, Jesse Schadick, and Logan Schadick. Brother to Marc.
He went to Ohio University where he met the love of his life Carol. He was a computer programmer in main frame computers for Ohio Bell, and then the Federal Reserve Bank in Cleveland.
Michael loved animals. He enjoyed taking their basenji, Bailey, lure coursing and weight pulling with his daughter. He later enjoyed the companionship of his dog Jamison. He also took great pride in being a docent at the Cleveland Metroparks zoo.
Michael was an avid sports fan and enjoyed watching and talking about sports with his son Neil. He and his wife Carol loved to travel, going to Europe, Alaska, and many other places. They wintered together in Hilton Head, South Carolina for many years.
He was beloved by all who knew him, and made many good friends in Hilton Head. He was never happier than when bragging about his grandchildren. He was a light in the lives of those around him. He will be greatly missed.
