Michael Megert Obituary
1976 - 2019
On Tuesday, April 16, 2019, Michael Megert of Powell, OH, passed away at age 43. Michael was born on March 4, 1976 in St. Louis, MO to Jon David Megert and the late Patty DeMar Julian. Michael leaves behind his best friend and loving father, Jon; adoring big brother, Ryan who looked up to him; a rescued son Labrador named Nugget; stepmother, Paula; and partner-in-crime, desperately devoted sisters, Stephanie and Courtney; nephews/comrades, Cameron, Alex, Jonathan, Paxon; and an entire World that could really use his empathy and love. Michael called Ohio home most of his life, graduating from Reynoldsburg High School Class of 1994, and CSCC. Mike was a devout Steelers fan and never missed a Buckeye game, even at his brothers wedding during which he led the crowd in boisterous football cheer. Michael loved his family, including the families he formed among his dearest friendships. He was the first to lift up anybody that was down. He didn't know a stranger. Michael made a difference to many, specifically helping kids and families battling cancer. Michael had an especially endless heart for dogs, including the underdog. Michael was a boom; a maverick in kindness and all a motley crew. Michael remained fearless in figure and lived vehemently until the very end. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to either the Humane Society or Wounded Warriors Foundation, two organizations that Michael firmly believed in. Visitation will be held Friday, April 19 from 6-6:30 p.m. at MORELAND FUNERAL HOME, 55 East Schrock Road, Westerville, OH 43081, where a service will follow at 6:30 p.m.

"Death is nothing at all. It does not count. I have only slipped away into the next room. Nothing has happened. Everything remains exactly as it was. I am I, and you are you, and the old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged. Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. Call me by the old familiar name. Speak of me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference into your tone. Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without an effort, without the ghost of a shadow upon it. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was. There is absolute and unbroken continuity. What is this death but a negligible accident? Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just round the corner. All is well. Nothing is hurt; nothing is lost. One brief moment and all will be as it was before. How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!" - Henry Scott Holland
Rest in peace, my brother. - Mike
