June 16, 1950 - August 02, 2021
Surrounded by his loving family, Mike was called home on August 2nd, 2021 after a courageous fight with cancer. Mike treasured time with his family, especially his grandkids, and enjoyed being outdoors in all seasons. He loved working on his yard, but his happy place was being in his garden. He worked many years in the lumber industry in Creston and Spokane. He enjoyed visiting Hawaii, and the many trips to Reno and Laughlin over the years. He was an avid Seahawks fan and played fantasy football for 30 years, the only team to win 3 years in a row. Mike leaves behind his wife Merrie and his children Jeff (Amy) Kelly, Aaron (Katrina) Kelly, Crystal (Cole) Harding, Amy (Ryan) Radach, Cory (Billie) Rutty. He also leaves behind ten siblings Katie (Pete) Reis, Paul (Donna) Kelly, Bridget Cotter, Brenda (Bruce) Hawkins, Mark (Marcia) Kelly, Joe (Sandra) Kelly, Tom (Danette) Kelly, Dave Kelly, Mary Como and Kerrie (Tom) Rowland. Eleven grandchildren, numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. "Sundays" will never be the same without you.

Rosary Vigil is on Thursday, August 5th at 6:30pm; Funeral Mass on Friday, August 6th 11:00am; Inurnment on Sunday, August 8th 11:00am at Pines Cemetery.
