Mike Gannon passed away quietly on October 19, 2019. He was born in Slayton, Minnesota on May 18, 1942 to Dorothy and Ed Gannon and was the oldest of 5 boys. He grew up in Pipestone, Minnesota. After graduating from high school, he moved around some and finally ended up in Lakeville, Minnesota. Buying and selling cars was always a passion for him, and he ran a service station there before turning it into a Pizza Parlor. From there he moved to St. James, Minnesota where he owned and managed Mike Gannon Motors.
When the cold and snow got to be too much for them, Phoenix became home. He owned and operated All Valley Impound until fall of 2001, when he retired. Never able to just relax, he worked for several towing companies before getting sick.
He is survived by his wife, Joy; two brothers, Gerry and Darryl; four children; Katherine (Paul), Dan (Kim), Julie (Ron), and Tony (Nadine); five step children, Philip (Monique), Matt, Karla (John), Josh (Dawn) and Billie (Helena); as well as 15 grandchildren.
A memorial service will be held Saturday, November 16, 2019 at 1:30pm at Shadow Mountain Mortuary, 2350 East Greenway Road Phoenix, Arizona 85022.
It's ok to rest now Mike. Memorials in Mike's honor may be sent to the Valley Fever Association.
