Publish in a newspaper
Michael G. Slinker, 78, of Princeton, IN passed away Monday, March 10, 2025. He was born July 23, 1946 in Princeton, IN to the late Edward Slinker and Juanita (Braden) Slinker. Mike attended and was in the 1964 graduating class of Princeton High School. He will be remembered as a lifelong farmer. Mike owned and operated Slinker Farms for 14 years before retiring in 2001. He loved being outdoors working the farm, tending his garden, and mowing the property. When Mike could no longer mow, he would enjoy his time outdoors with his fur-babies. Mike was a simple man who didn't like a lot of fuss. He is loved by so many and will be deeply missed.
Mike was preceded in death by his parents and brother, David Slinker.
He is survived by his wife of 30 years, Sandra Slinker; son, Jason (Jamie) Slinker of Patoka, IN; step-daughter, Staci (Gene) Blair of Newburgh; grandchildren, Riley (Ali) Slinker of O'Fallon, MO, Devin Blair of Newburgh, IN, and Halen Blair of Lafeyette, IN; brother, Bill (Jane Ann) Slinker of Newburgh, IN; and several nieces and nephews.
Mike requested that no services take place. He will be laid to rest at Owensville Cemetery at a later date. Online condolences may be given at ColvinFuneralHome.com where you can share a memory with the family. Colvin Funeral Home is honored to serve the Slinker family.
