Michael Mell Obituary
Waterford - Michael John Mell left this world on September 28, 2020, due to metastatic pancreatic cancer.
He was welcomed into the world on August 20, 1959, by his mother, Roberta (Smead) Mell Elnicki, and his father, John Mell, who predeceased him. He is also predeceased by his stepfather, Michael Elnicki.
He is survived by his sister, SueAnn (Brian) Roberge, and his brothers, Kenny and Stevie (Tina). He is also survived by his son, Nicholas (Laura) and grandson Josh, and his former wife, Mary Garvie Mell.
Mike leaves behind his wife, Millie, and their grandson, Isaiah; his bonus children, Amy (John) McLoughlin and granddaughter Gwennifer; Katie McLoughlin; Megan (Latif) McLoughlin; and Matthew (Meghan) McLoughlin, granddaughter Mia, and grandson Wyatt. Mike also leaves behind beloved nieces, nephews, friends, and his best buddies Brian, Preston, Paulie, and Patrick.
Mike's life philosophy was simple: work hard, never lie, love with your whole heart, always lend a hand, and never miss an opportunity to have a good time. It served him well.
His family would like to thank the hardworking and caring nurses on 6-2 at Lawrence and Memorial Hospital who made his last days peaceful.

Dear Millie, Isaiah, and family,
Roses are Red, Violets are blue – Mikes Best friendship with Preston was - Oh So True.
Shared laughter and wonderful conversations, they both enjoyed in Preston’s garage.
It was real, it was no mirage.
God takes home only the best – and here on earth – he leaves the rest.
Until we meet Mike at the pearly gates, we shall trust that God knows our fates.
Diane and Preston Amburn
