Michael Ohler Obituary

Michael John Ohler was born Sept. 17, 1954, to John and Joan Ohler in Eugene, Oregon. He attended John Marshall High School in Portland, Oregon, and after graduation Mike joined the U.S. Army, where he happily served his country for six years.

Mike and his father hauled snow plows to Valdez, Alaska. There, he fell in love with the state and remained there driving trucks for various trucking companies. After becoming bored and starting to raise a family, he changed his career to mechanic, working for Gabe's Truck and Auto for many years.

Mike is survived by his daughters, Michelle Ohler, Kasie Ohler and Jessica Miller, and son, Jesse Ohler; numerous grandchildren; and his sister, Shirley Stewart (Gary), and brother, Ken Ohler (Kaylani). Mike is preceded in death by his parents and daughter, Sherrie Ohler. A celebration of life will be held in 2025 in Vernonia, Oregon.
