Michael Joseph Keleher, age 69, was born on August 4th, 1956 and died August 20, 2025 in his home in Cudahy, Wisconsin. He was the son of Clarence and Peggy Keleher of Darlington, Wisconsin. He graduated from Darlington High School and went on to pursue a degree in Electrical Mechanics through Southwest Technical College in Fennimore, Wisconsin. He worked at Coca-Cola in Florida, Meat Packing in Cudahy, and then EZ Painter Plant.

Mike enjoyed grilling as well as baking. He was known for his brownies and cakes, and if you needed someone to fix an electrical problem, he was happy to help. He loved tinkering with engines, and his cars and motorcycle were always kept in perfect condition.

Mike is survived by his children, Julie Keleher of Platteville, Wisconsin; Tom (Rachel) Keleher of Cobb, Wisconsin, and Amy Keleher of Cudahy, Wisconsin; one sister, Vicki (Keleher) Rideout, and four grandchildren, Blake, Kylie, Connor, and Payton.

Service information is pending.
