G. Michael Sears Obituary
Born in Indianapolis to Herbert and Marjory (Schneider) Sears, Mike attended Cathedral High School before graduating from Purdue University, following in his father's footsteps. He and his wife, Jonita (DeVore), raised two children, Michael and Michelle.
Mike had a deep passion for his work, travel, fine wine, playing bridge and golf, and all things Boilermakers.
He is survived by his children, Michael (Wendy) Sears and Michelle (Robert) Carter; his sisters, Donna and Marjory; and his grandchildren, Nicholas, Allison, and Rebecca (Jake) Mills. He was preceded in death by his parents, his wife, his sister Jackie, and his nephews Chris and Danny.
A service to celebrate Mike's life will be held on Saturday, February 22, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. at Rockville Christian Church, 301 Adclare Road, Rockville, Maryland, 20850. Refreshments will be served at the church immediately following the service.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to The Parkinson's Foundation (parkinson.org).

Sympathy, grace, and peace to all Mike's family as we grieve his passing to his Lord Jesus. Brother Mike was special, a good friend who never met a stranger. His smile, his sunny disposition, and his generousity were just part of the blessings received by knowing him. He will be fondly remembered and celebrated by all who knew him and loved him. God bless! "Slush" and Nan

Michael wanted to stay in his earthly home with all his family and friends. However, our heavenly father wanted him more. He needed another angel, to watch over us and give us comfort. Now Michael is reunited with his beautiful wife Jonita.

Michael was such a wonderful person. It´s no wonder that God called in him home into his loving arms, much to soon .
I know he wanted to stay with his loved ones, but our precious Lord wanted him more. He was the most precious caring and giving person I´ve ever had the honor to meet in my entire life.
May he rest im peace with his "departed love of his life, Jonita

I have fond memories of Mr.and Mrs. Sears who were so devoted to one another. Their home in Darnestown, was always welcoming to guests and friends. Whether you were there to watch a March Madness game or celebrate a holiday, they were always kind and generous.
The day before my wedding, Mr. Sears treated Michelle and I to a spa day to relax before the big event. I was so grateful for his thoughtful gift.
Know that we are keeping you all in our hearts and prayers as you grieve and remember him. Sending peace, comfort, and love to the entire family.
