Michael Pohlman Obituary
He is survived by his grandmother: Carolyn Gratsonis; father: Michael T. Pohlman; siblings: Ashley Pohlman, Krystal Pohlman, Robin Clark, Kenny Clark Jr., Rebecca Clark, and Baily Clark.
Michael was an amazing soul who valued family very dearly. He was an artist at heart and was very passionate about music. He always made everyone laugh. His presence could brighten any room. If you needed him, he would always be there. He loved to be outside in nature doing anything and everything, from riding bikes to craftmanship. He loved his grandmother and mother deeply. He was a son, a grandson, a brother, and uncle.
"Deep in our hearts, your life is kept, to love and cherish, not forget. No more tomorrows we can share but yesterdays are always there. A silent thought, a secret tear keeps your memory ever near, in our hearts forever."
A graveside service will be held at St. John's Cemetery in Mokena, Illinois. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Carolyn Gratsonis and will be accepted at Sutherland-Rankin Funeral Home, PO Box 97, Salem, Illinois 62881. Online condolences may be left by visiting www.sutherlandfuneralhome.com or Sutherland-Rankin Funeral Home Facebook Page.
