Michael graduated from Wichita West High School in 1963. He continued his education at Butler Community College in Butler County, Kansas, where he attended in 1964 and 1965 and proudly played football for the Grizzlies. He later graduated from Sacred Heart College, now known as Newman University, in 1971.
Michael married Nancy G. Kemmerer in 1966, and they shared 60 years of marriage together.
In 1981 , Michael became a Certified Public Accountant and spent the next 45 years practicing accounting. His career was an important part of his life, but Michael was never one to let work define him.
He enjoyed fishing, golfing, and especially drag racing. He loved spending time with friends and family and took great pride in his grandchildren. Michael also loved to talk—and he rarely met a stranger. He had a wonderfully dry sense of humor and a quick wit that could catch you off guard and leave you laughing. His conversations, stories, and unmistakable personality will be missed by all who knew him.
Michael is survived by his wife, Nancy G. Kemmerer; his son, Christopher L. Kemmerer; his daughter, Stacy L. Kemmerer; and his grandsons, Caden L. Kemmerer and Chase K. Littleton.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Clyde L. Kemmerer and Helen M. Kemmerer, and his brother, Gary N. Kemmerer.
Michael lived a full life surrounded by family, friends, good conversation, a little dry humor, and the things he enjoyed most. He will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.
