Mike Stadtfeld Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Oct. 11, 2024.
Born April 1st 1959 in Aurora IL. passed away August 30, 2024, in Longview WA.

Mike and Cindy had just celebrated 44 devoted years together when he was taken from us unexpectedly after a brief illness.

Mike was the rock and anchor of our family, always going the extra mile to help anyone in need. He was a man of great character and integrity, whose values guided him throughout life.

He was the owner/operator of Fox Valley Auto body in Montgomery for several years and then moved on to own Woodlake Aircraft in Sandwich where he repaired and painted planes.

Mike was someone that could build or fix anything - he was endlessly resourceful. He had a wealth of knowledge and was mostly self-taught. Mike and Cindy were a great team, whether it was building a new home, renovating or decorating, they worked side by side, instinctively knowing what each other was thinking.

He was kind and strong and talented. He had a great love for music and was a wonderful guitar player himself, that not everyone got to hear. He loved fishing and driving his boats, whether it was his air boat on the Fox River in Yorkville, or his fishing boat on the Columbia River.

His sense of humor was quick and full of wit, he maintained solid friendships throughout his life that meant a lot to him - his absence has left a void for all that knew him.

Mike is survived by his loving wife Cindy, sister Kathy (Tina) brother Steve, his Aunt Dorothy Stadtfeld, stepfather Dale Hansen (Arizona), his Aunt Janet Harkins (Florida), cousins, stepbrothers and sisters.

He is preceded in death by his mother Pat Hansen, father Ron Stadtfeld, stepmom Cheryl, and his sister Sue Stadtfeld
