Michael Chandler

Michael Chandler was truly a pain in the ass, but he was our pain in the ass.  He will always be very loved and missed by many.  Michael was an adventurer, continually looking for somewhere to go or something try. He loved traveling, sports, concerts, old cars and learning something new – he made a career out of college and was working on his second bachelor’s degree when he passed. In life, Michael enjoyed food the most, especially cheese, chicken wings and ice cream. He hated laundry, feet and that “Team Up North.” He was a great dog dad to his Australian Shepherd, Tucker.  Friends of Michael became family; he was a Momma’s boy and his Dad’s best friend. His sister was his favorite.  Michael fully LIVED every day of his life but sadly drowned after kayaking with friends.  If you had known him, you would have loved him; he was witty and charming and a jokester.  If you were lucky enough to know him, he probably got your name wrong at least once… and you’re welcome.

Michael is a hero who left a life-saving legacy through organ and eye donation.
