OBITUARY
Michael Lee Witzel, age 77.
Beloved father of Mikki (Rob) Erickson, Amanda (Jeffery) Wegner and Bethany (Michael) Rodgers. Former husband of Ann Witzel. Proud grandfather of Ryan, McKenna, Riley, Samantha, Sam, Melanie, Haley and Sydney. Dearly cared for by Liz. Our dad’s dedication to his career at Idlewood Electric was truly inspiring .His work ethic was unparalleled and he set a remarkable example for us to follow. Beyond his professional achievements, he had a unique charm that endeared him to everyone he met. His quick wit and ability to find humor in any situation brought light to our lives. It was his unconditional love for his family, especially his daughters, that truly defined him. Even though he is no longer with us, his legacy of hard work, love and laughter will continue to live on in the hearts of those who knew and cherished him.
