Michael Dean Kackley

Born: March 20th, 1952

Residence: Gilbert, AZ

Passing: February 25th, 2026

Mike was 73 years old.

Mike was a loyal and loving man. He was the love of my life. He is survived by is wife, Rajean, two sons, one daughter, two grandsons, a granddaughter and three adopted granddaughters. He has one sister/bother living in Phoenix, AZ.

Mike was proud of his Military Veteran service to his country. He was a part of the 160th from Fort Campbell, Kentucky. In 2023, he celebrated the first Nightstalker's Division Gala event in Nashville, TN.

Mike was an Ace Helicopter Mechanic and loved what he did. After forty years I'm proud to say Mike never had an air accident on his watch.

He will be dearly missed (especially by his little Shih Zhu, Sydney) and me. Rest in Peace, Mikey.
