BLOOMINGTON - Michael "Mike" Lynn Wurth, 69 of Bloomington passed away at Bickford House at 10:35 AM Wednesday October 14, 2020.
There will be a private funeral service Monday October 19, 2020 at Calvert & Metzler Memorial Home in Bloomington. Interment will be in Funks Grove Cemetery in McLean.
Mike was born January 4, 1951 in Lincoln, IL to William Robert and Ruth Ellen Wiggers Wurth. He married Judy Callahan on July 6, 1973 in Bloomington. She survives. He is also survived by his three children Brad (Amy) Wurth of Bloomington, Justin (Mary) Wurth of Bloomington, Christin (Patrick) Thomas of Fayetteville, Arkansas, eight grandchildren, Keagan, Blake, McKenna, Kasen, Leo and Elizabeth Wurth, Marisa and Pierce Thomas, one brother Stephen (Linda) of Ocala, FL and one sister Cindy (Roger) Boerma of Athens, GA.
Mike worked 34 years for Country Financial until his retirement in 2013. He was also a member of Eastview Christian Church and served in the Illinois Air National Guard. Mike's faith in God was his guiding light, his hope for his family was his driving force and the love of his grandchildren was his joy.

Judy, I am so sorry to hear of Mike´s passing. It was only recently I heard of his Alzheimer´s. My mother had that also. I felt I lost her far earlier than at her passing. I hope you and Mike still were able to connect at times. I will pray as the Lord brings you to mind. Pam

I am so sorry to hear of Mike´s passing. I loved the way he lived to sing when I led devotion times in Mary B. As a chaplain I was blessed to serve him. He always had a big smile and warm handshake. I know he is well and singing in heaven now. I am praying for all of you as you grieve.
