L. Michael "Bigg Mike" Tschannen, 71, passed away on August 16, 2025, in Snowflake, Arizona. Born on April 12, 1954, in Laveen, Arizona, Mike was the beloved son of the late Lloyd and Grayce (Richeson) Tschannen.
A longtime resident of Snowflake, Mike was well known in the community as the owner of Bigg Painting, where he earned the nickname "Bigg Mike." His jovial spirit and penchant for jokes brought smiles to many, and he was happiest when surrounded by family, especially his two sons.
Mike is survived by his son, Brett Tschannen; his cherished granddaughter, Grayce; and his loving sister, Lloyce Robinson. He was preceded in death by his son, Brooks Tschannen.
Mike's warmth, humor, and dedication to his family and friends will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
