Michael SHENEFELT

Michael "Shenny" Roderick Shenefelt, 61, of Spokane, WA, passed away on June 4, 2024. Born on June 14, 1962, in Spokane.

Mike's journey began at Westview and Salk for primary education, continued at Shadle for high school, and culminated at Eastern Washington University.

Shenny, as he was affectionately known, proudly served in the Army from 1981 to 1985, demonstrating his dedication and commitment to his country. Following his military service, he pursued a career path that led him to learn the art of laying tile, working in sales at Edward's Engines and Frito Lay, and eventually served for 30 plus years at the Washington State Attorney General's office.

His vibrant personality was evident to all who knew him. Shenny was always positive, upbeat, with quick sarcasm and a joke. He was known for his helpful nature and his ability to bring a smile to those around him.

In his personal life, Mike cherished his relationships with his wife, Kristy; his children, Alicia and Nick; his brothers, Jimmy (Lauri) and Steve, and Pahat (Patty); along with numerous nieces and cousins.

He was preceded in death by his mother Mary; father, Jim (Marie); and nephew, Ryan.

Mike's love for his family and friends was evident in everything he did.

Outside of his professional life, Shenny enjoyed a variety of hobbies, including, golf (being part of the Downriver mens club), scuba diving, youth hockey, baseball, boxing, cooking, and traveling. He loved spending time with friends and family, whether watching sports (GO Eags!), hanging out in the Garage Mahal, or engaging in any activities that brought them together.

Shenny will be deeply missed by his loved ones, but his memory will live on through the impact he made on those around him. His legacy of kindness, humor, and camaraderie will be cherished by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

A celebration of Shenny's life will be held to honor and remember the impact he had on all who knew him. His memory will forever live on in the hearts of those who were touched by his Love. Services will be Friday, June 14, 2024, at 12:00 pm at Assumption Parish, 3624 W. Indian Trail Rd. He will be laid to rest at Fairmount Memorial Park with military honors.
