Mike Smead, 77, of Churubusco, went home to the Lord on Saturday, October 19, 2019. He was born to the late Arthur and Geraldine (Bleekman) Smead on February 18, 1942 in Fort Wayne. Mike worked for over 50 years for the same avionics company, which is now BAE Systems. He attended My Father's House and Life Bridge Church.
He loved the Lord with his whole heart. Mike enjoyed corvettes, raising turtles, spending time with his daughters and grandsons, and was especially passionate about helping and ministering to others.
