Of Toledo, Ohio, formerly of Jackson, MI, went home to be with his Lord on Wednesday July 8, 2020 at the age of 63. He was preceded in death by his parents, Jackson Police Sgt. Robert D. and Sarah L. Howell. Mike is survived by his sister, Kathy (Chris) Arnold; his nieces, Kristen (Patrick) Wurth, and Kylee (Brandon) Barker, as well as his infant great-nephew Jameson Wurth. He graduated from Northwest High School and attended Toledo Bible College. Mike will be remembered as a gentle, quiet man who loved the Lord with all his heart. He shared his faith with his family who credit him for their own walk with the Lord. His strong faith despite many health issues was a very powerful witness to those who knew him. Mike loved and served his church in Toledo whenever possible. He was a University of Toledo Rockets fan, and followed all sports, particularly NASCAR racing.
There will be a private family service held at Hillcrest Memorial Park, and a celebration of his life will be held at a later date.
Memorial contributions in memory of Michael may be made to Youth Haven Ranch.
