Michael McGrew, 66, of Port Lavaca went to his heavenly home surrounded by his loved ones on August 13, 2024. He was born October 18, 1957 in Orrville, Ohio to Donald F. and Marian “Betsy” Odean McGrew. Michael worked as an Electrician for Inteplast for thirty-one years…always claiming he went to work to rest! He loved tinkering with trucks and home projects. He proudly served in the United States Army! He loved spending time fishing, hunting, mowing, reading, listening to Christian music, spending time at The Frio, and loved family time – especially with his grandbabies.

He was preceded in death by his parents and brother, Donny McGrew.
