Michael Wayne Childers, age 71, went home to be with the Lord on November 15, 2021.
Born on November 12, 1950 in Louisville, KY, Mike was the son of the late Thomas and Florence Childers. He grew up in Burlington, WI. He earned degrees from Gateway Technical Institute and U.W. Parkside.
On July 10, 1971, Mike married Susan Uebele. He was a faithful and loving husband to Sue for over 50 years. God blessed their marriage with three children, Brian (Haley) Childers, Christine (Bill) Taylor and Sarah (Jeff) Ring. Mike and Sue have seven grandchildren, Isaac and Elise Childers, Emma, Alexander and Abigail Taylor and Callie and Wesley Ring. Mike was always there for his family, supporting them in all their activities.
He was employed with Abbott Laboratories for 44 years in Information Technology.
Mike’s life was a witness to his strong faith in Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. He served in many ways at Calvary Memorial Church in Racine, WI. He was a discussion leader with Bible Study Fellowship. His greatest desire was for family, friends, and others to know that salvation is found in Jesus Christ alone.
Mike will be greatly missed by all those who knew and loved him. He is survived by his immediate family, as well as brothers, Dave and Chuck and sister, Susie.
Preceding him in death were his parents and sisters, Jeanne and Carolyn.
Thank you to all who supported Mike and our family with prayers, comfort, and support.
