I was thinking of Mike today. I met him through my parents, he was our Allstate Insurance rep. Over the years, he became someone you can count on and a friendly voice to talk with. He embodied what kind and helpful people were all about! Thanks Mike for everything!

Everyone should be fortunate enough to have a friend like Mike in their life. We have treasured memories of many good times and travels with Mike and Carol. Our deepest sympathy to Carol and the entire Sweazey Family.

Dear Carol. Liz and I are saddened to hear of Mike's passing. Mike and I had talked many times about playing a round of golf together. But when I joined this great group of guys, Mike had stopped playing golf. He had a wonderful gift; when you talked with Mike, he made you feel as if you were the only person in the room. Rick and Gail would always let us know when you guys and the Websters would visit Don Ruggles. So nice to carry friendships for a lifetime. Our deepest sympathy, God...

Michael Scott Sweazey, 80, was born in Chicago on October 22, 1942, and entered heaven on September 11, 2023. Mike grew up in Park Ridge and attended Maine High School, then graduated from the University of Denver in 1964. Mike worked for Allstate for 44 years. He received numerous awards for his excellence in service, and was loved by family, friends and customers alike for his warmth, kindness and humor.
Mike is survived by his wife, Carol (nee Tremel); children Jennifer (Tom) Olsson, Sandra (Mike) Imm, and Thomas Sweazey; stepchildren Tracy Binder and Scott Binder. Also survived by his brother John (Kathleen) Sweazey and seven adoring grandchildren: Jeffrey Olsson, Jonathan Olsson, Kate Olsson, Halle (Zac) Holman, Elle Imm, Mack Imm and Charlie Imm. He was preceded in death by his parents, Tom and Marion Sweazey.
Mike was a great friend to many here in Illinois and in Florida, where he spent the winter for the last 23 years. Mike loved golf, and if there is a golf course in heaven, he is playing 18 and waiting for his friends to join him at the 19th hole for a beer.
