Michael Waddell Obituary

Michael P. Waddell

Fishers - Michael Paul Waddell, 67, of Fishers, IN, passed away peacefully at home Sunday, April 14, 2019. Michael was born on October 29, 1951, to parents John H. and Mary A. (Menduni) Waddell. He served his country honorably in the U.S. Army, spending a year and a day in Viet Nam. He was a member of VFW Bruce Post #1146, St. Clair Shores, MI.

Michael was a loving, generous, and devoted husband and father. He was very charming, loved music, loved to talk to people, and was a friend and mentor to those that knew him. He also was an avid sports fan, who loved the Cincinnati Reds and the Dallas Cowboys.

Michael was preceded in death by his parents and brother, John Waddell. He will be lovingly missed by his wife of 39 years, Dr. Cynthia Waddell; son, Michael Waddell, Jr.; nephew, John H. Waddell; niece, Janice Sutton; and many loving extended family members and friends.

I am sorry to hear the loss of Mike. I knew him as a DJ at the Cat's Meow in Fort Wayne where I worked security 4 nights a week. He was always so nice and pleasant to work with. We were good friends back in those days. My prayers go out to his wife , family and friends.
