Michael Ross Mottice
Mike laid down his proverbial sword on November 17th 2024 after a hard fought battle to cancer. Mike continued to make jokes until the very end. His beautiful wife and high school sweetheart Thea was by his side as were his children. Michael leaves behind a long list of broken hearts. His children, Jessica, India, Madison, Xavier and Zander.
His kids in law (but really no different from his own children) Martin, Tyler, Benny and Brynne. His grandkids, Travis, Tripp, Trace, Lincoln Lennon, Nora, Linda and yet to be born Baby Lucy and Baby Ryan.
Mike's legacy extends beyond his family. He was a friend to everyone and had a joke for every situation.
Mike spent 17 years managing Cibos restaurant in Waynesburg. He was lucky enough to work with all five of his kids in the kitchen. He loved his job and enjoyed nothing more than a hot roll in the morning before the restaurant opened.
Mike had one true love in his life, his wife Thea. They met as teenagers and spent 37 years married. He was as crazy about her the day he left the earth as he was the day they met.
Mike joins his grandparents and mom among many other family members in heaven.
