Michael Cain Obituary
February 17, 1967 - September 1, 2024
Michael Allen Cain was born to Richard and Margaret (Bogenrief) Cain on February 17, 1967, in Sioux City, Iowa. He passed away on September 1, 2024, at home in Lyons, Nebraska, after a brave battle with pancreatic cancer. He graduated from Sioux City West High School in 1986 and then attended Wayne State College.
He moved to Omaha in the late 1980s, where he built many lasting friendships. There, he met his fiancé, Erin, and they spent many years enjoying motorcycles, music, art, and life together. They moved to Lyons in 2017, and he obtained a job as a shipping and receiving clerk at Brehmer Manufacturing in 2018, where he worked hard to create an orderly environment for his coworkers. He appreciated their support during his illness and wanted to recognize the Brehmers as well as his team of doctors, physician assistants, and nurses at the University of Nebraska Medical Center.
Michael was preceded in death by his grandparents, Hilda and Fountain Cain, of Hawarden, IA, and Frank and Louise Bogenrief of Hinton, IA; aunts, Karen D. and Marilyn B.
Survivors include his fiancé, Erin M. Mockler of Lyons; parents, Richard and Margaret Cain of Sioux City, IA; three aunts; three uncles; and many cousins.

I knew Mike in grade school, junior high, and high school. He was a very likable, conscientious, and friendly person. Was sad to hear about his passing. My thoughts and prayers are with his friends and family.
