Michael LEMON Obituary

Michael L Lemon, a life long resident of Spokane, WA, died September 19, 2022, at the age of 70 after a brief illness.

Mike was born to Patricia Lemon in 1952, graduating from Rogers High School in 1970. His son, Thaddeus Lemon, was born on April 22, 1975.

Throughout his life, he enjoyed playing softball and golf and made many lasting friendships as a result. A highlight of his younger years was a cross-country motorcycle tour of the United States and Canada. He was a lover of animals, especially dogs, and enjoyed the company of many cherished pets over the years.

Mike worked as a truck driver for the majority of his life, retiring as a Teamster in 2012. He spent his retirement days in leisure, tending to his beloved dogs and enjoying his house and view on the hill. He will be missed by his friends, family, and all who knew him.

He is predeceased by his mother, Patricia Lemon. Survivors include his son, Thaddeus Lemon, and Thad's mother, Jackie McDaniels, his grandchildren, Joshua Lemon and Caleb Lemon, his sister, Linda Barzee, as well as many other extended family and friends.

To honor Mike's memory we are holding a Celebration of Life on November 5th, 2022 at 1 pm. Inland Northwest Wildlife Council. 6116 N Market St.

I first met Mike in 1958. 1st Grade at St. Patrick's. 8 year of hard time with the nuns. Nothing like a 100 word penance to ruin your week. We even did Cub Scouts together. His mom, Pat, and my mother Joyce both took turns as Den Mothers. Always a good friend, the world will be a bit smaller without Mike. Grateful to have known him.

Sorry to hear of Mike's passing. I moved away long ago but still remember him as one of my favorite people and friends. We certainly had some great times together and with other friends. All my best to his family and friends who will be missing him as much as I will.
