Michael C. McGovern, age 56, of Indianapolis, passed away peacefully at his home on July 4, 2024.

Born on March 21, 1968 in Indianapolis, IN. Michael was the cherished son of Mary B. McGovern (Byrne) and the late James D. McGovern.

Mike cherished spending time with his children and grandchildren, sharing his love for the Indianapolis 500, and enjoying outdoor activities. Mike was a member of the American Legion and Moose Lodge. Mike's playful spirit and sense of humor brightened the days of his colleagues at Amazon. His unique way of getting around on his tricycle brought smiles to everyone he encountered.

Michael leaves behind a loving legacy carried on by his children Stefanie T. McGovern of Dallas, TX and Quinn A. McGovern (Shania) of Royal Center, IN, and adored grandchildren Emberly and Reece McGovern. He is also survived by his brothers James (Mandy) and Sean McGovern, sisters Eileen McGovern, Maureen (Mike) Leland, and Cathleen McGovern- Quigley, and a host of nieces and nephews who held special places in his heart.

He was reunited in peace with his father James McGovern and brother Glen McGovern.

A memorial service honoring Michael's life will be held at Flanner Buchanan Funeral Center in Zionsville. Visitation will take place on Wednesday, July 17, 2024, from 12 pm to 2 pm. Family visitation 11am-12pm. Those who wish to pay their respects may consider sending flowers to the funeral home.

In every cherished memory and in the echoes of his laughter, Michael will forever remain a beacon of love and warmth in the hearts of all who knew him.
