Michael J. Sharkey
Passed away on Wednesday, December 4th, 2024 at the age of 62. Beloved father of Marissa Sharkey (Jared Blankenship), Ryan Sharkey (Savannah), and Leah Sharkey. Loving grandfather to Sarah, Parker, Charlie, and Marlowe Blankenship and Sophia, Hosanna, Juniper, Beulah, and Shepherd Sharkey. Dear brother of John Sharkey (the late Kathy), Peggy Helsher (Craig), Lynn Skelton (Kip), and Diane Mundschenk and son of the late Marilyn Sharkey (nee Kerwin) and Jack Sharkey. Esteemed ex-husband of Cathy Hensler (nee LoPiccolo) and Carol Sharkey (nee Kaiser). He was a dear uncle, friend, and coach to many.
Mike was a dedicated worker, serving as the IT director for Xtra Lease for nearly 30 years before his well-deserved retirement. Outside of work, he embraced life through his passions for boating, golfing, and coaching. He was a devoted coach to all 3 of his children and his granddaughter Sophia. Mike was always the life of the party, spending his time telling stories, making friends, and singing his favorite tunes. Above all, his greatest joy came from spending time with his friends and family.
Visitation will be held on Sunday, December 8th from 2pm until the time of service at 6pm, both at Hutchens-Stygar Funeral Home. Memorial donations may be made to Five Acres Animal Shelter.

Favorite memory is about all my MO cousins. When I was driving cross country I stopped in St. Louis on the day after New Years Eve. The whole family had just had a big holiday party the night before but all my cousins and their families rallied and put on another party in my honor! I felt like a conquering hero returning home. Mike and I played many a game of pool in the basement. Thank you for that memory. Love to you all, Mike
