Michael Crilow Obituary
He was born in Millersburg on January 7, 1978 to Roger and Bonnie (Reidenbach) Crilow.
In addition to his parents, he is survived by siblings, Troy (Christine) Crilow of Wooster, and Stacie (Brian) Zuercher of Orrville; niece and nephews, Cora (Brayden) Shumaker, Jaden Zuercher, and Branson Zuercher; many aunts, uncles, and cousins; and "brothers", Troy, Joey, Mike, and Seth.
Mike was an employee of Buckeye Pipeline, formerly Wenger Pipeline for 30 years. He was a dedicated uncle, even to those he wasn't related to, and he never missed an event.
A celebration of life will take place on Saturday, February 14, 2026 from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm at Fairlawn Mennonite Church, 8520 Emerson Road, Apple Creek, OH 44606, in the Community Center at the back of the building.

I taught at Waynedale and had many Crilows. Mike was probably the quietest. I always said teachers remember a lot of students but some always stand out. Mike will be remembered as one of the kindest.
