Christopher DeMichael Obituary
Christopher P. DeMichael, age 49, died August 8, 2018, following a valiant fight with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).
He was preceded in death by his father, Thomas who also died from ALS. He is survived by his cherished mother, Barbara; grandmother, Jeanne Schikowski; and many aunts, uncles, cousins and good friends.
Christopher was a proud member of the Delta Upsilon fraternity at Kent State University, where he earned his MBA. "Biskit", as he was called by his friends, enjoyed sharing his home, arcade and video games, and movies with them. Most of all, he loved sports with the Kent State Flashes and Cleveland Browns being his favorite teams.
Christopher donated his body to ALS research at the Cleveland Clinic in hopes that a cure will be found so that others will not have to suffer through this terrible disease. A memorial service will be held at a later date.
