We lost our beloved Michael to homicide in the early morning of July 28, 2022. Michael was born on February 16, 1970 in Roosevelt, Utah where he remained until he was 11 years old and he was adopted by the Klingeles and moved to Yakima, Washington. He then later was fostered by the Noel family. He is preceded in death by foster brother, Fred Session; his son, Thorin Michael Klingele; and granddaughter, Adyleigh Klingele. Michael is survived by his son, Dylan Klingele; daughters, Markita Klingele, Makayla Klingele, and Adyleigh Louise "Ady Lou" Barker-Klingele; four granddaughters, Rosalie, Delilah, Natalia, and Haileyana; and his foster brothers, Patrick Feller, Daniel Ruiz, Jason Rodriguez, Richard Noel, and Andy Fischerand. Michael was a carpenter and worked mostly in the construction industry. A skilled craftsman, he really enjoyed working with wood. Michael also had a special love motocross, having a passion for motorcycles since he was a young boy. He listened to all kinds of music and played the viola as a boy as well as bass guitar as an adult. He was a huge fan of the Seahawks and Skagit races, he played disc golf, and loved the outdoors and fishing. Michael always had the time to help a friend and had a huge heart for others, animals, and children. He will be dearly missed.

I knew Mike when he was training to be a carpenter at Sedro-Wooley job corp. Mike was like my big brother when I was there. He really took me under his wing as I was only 16 and he was a couple years older. When Mike was your friend he had your back 100% I decided to look him up after 35 or so years and am sorry to see Mike was sadly taken away. My condolences to Mikes friends and family.
