Michael was called home to Heaven on June 30th, 2021. His passing was unexpected after three weeks of recovering and healing from surgery. He was surrounded by his family receiving enormous amounts of love in his final moments. He is survived by his loving wife of 28 years, Gina Roth; his three children Rachael Walton (Thomas) and Adam Roth, his twins, along with Amber K. Roth, his youngest; and two grandchildren, Braden Brockman and Samantha Roth “Sammie”
Mike was born November 14, 1955 in Beech Grove, Indiana to the late Patricia Louise (Fataley) Roth and Morand “Tony” Roth. He was the second oldest of seven and is survived by his siblings, Louise McKeand (Dr. Steve), David Roth (Denise), Sharon McQueen (Jimmy Caps), and Glenn Roth (Tara). He was welcomed at the gates of Heaven by his parents and his two baby sisters, Susan Dugan (Howard) and Patricia Merriman “Patty” (Ronald).
Mike graduated from Cathedral High School in 1974. As a true Hoosier who had a deep love for his family, he decided to stay in Indianapolis where he spent his younger years working for Roberts Dairy while being able to care for his Mother then working 13 years for Comcast before shifting occupations to warehouse work for the remainder of his working career.
Mike was more than just your average man. He was a spectacular caregiver to all who got to know him. He had the calmness and patience that one could only hope to be blessed with that made it easy for anyone to confide in him. If it wasn't his wonderful charm, his sense of humor was the way he could win over anyone. He was a provider for his family no matter what challenges life would bring to the table. He would do anything to give his family Heaven on Earth. If he was not at work or spending quality time with his loved ones you could find him fulfilling his time doing anything from cooking, caring for his tomato garden, solving any kind of puzzle he was able to get his hands on, reading his favorite sci-fi novel series Dune, watching Star Trek, or on Sunday’s reserving the living room for himself to watch whatever sports game that was on or his personal favorite NASCAR and Indy Car. Mike is and will forever be a man that no one will be able to forget.
