Died: November 12, 2022 in Sterling, IL
Michael "Mike" J. Naylon, 60, of Sterling, passed away Saturday, November 12, 2022, at his home surrounded by family.
Mike was born August 9, 1962, in Dixon, Illinois, the son of James Naylon and Judith (Temple) Norris. He worked for SGS in Dixon as a Engineering Manager. Outside of work, he spent time doing the things he valued the most: spending time with family, enjoying the outdoors, listening to music unreasonably loud, and cheering for the Bears. He was best known for his contagious laugh, sentimental heart, and the ongoing prank of switching identities with his twin brother, Mark.

He was preceded in death by his father Jim; brothers Jeff and Terry Naylon; step-father Max Norris; step-brothers Ted and Tony Norris.
