Michael Strub Obituary

Michael William Strub

Michael William Strub, age 85, of Ingleside, Illinois, passed away peacefully at his home on July 12, 2025. He was born on January 1, 1940, in Sandusky, Ohio, to the late Harry and Beatrice Strub.

Michael was a proud veteran who honorably served two tours in Vietnam with the United States Marine Corps. Following his military service, he dedicated his career to the skilled trade of carpentry, working as a union carpenter on bridge construction for IL Constructors Co. and Bolander. Michael had a zest for life and a deep appreciation for the simple pleasures — especially fishing. He was known for his warm heart, kind spirit, and was a cherished neighbor and loyal friend to many.

He will be remembered with love and missed deeply by all who knew him especially his wife, Carolyn; his daughters, Becky Hamilton, Keri Strub, and Erin Strub; his stepchildren, Ross Pelz, Jamie Pelz, and DeAnn Mandas; his seven grandchildren; and his sister, Joanetta Grabowski.

A memorial visitation and service will be held at Strang Funeral Chapel, 410 E Belvidere Road, Grayslake, IL 60030 on Tuesday, July 15, 2025 from 4:00pm until 7:30pm, with a service commencing at 7:30pm. For more information, please call 847-223-8122 or visit www.StrangFuneral.org.
