Michael Behler Obituary
Michael E. Behler, of Bowmanstown, passed away November 29, 2025. He lived a life rooted in the outdoors, family, and the simple joys that meant most to him.
He is survived by his son, Dustin H. Behler, husband of Amber (Zellner); brothers Robert A. Behler and Andrew J. Behler; and sister Lisa Handwerk. His family was his proudest accomplishment and the center of his world.
A true outdoorsman, he found his happiest moments hunting, fishing, and spending time surrounded by nature. He was stubborn in the way only strong-hearted people can be; yet generous, loyal, and kind to those he loved. His friends and family knew him as someone who would show up, lend a hand, share a laugh, and make any day better just by being part of it.
He will be deeply missed, remembered for his big heart in his little body, his love for his son, and the peace he found under the open skies.
May he rest in the quiet outdoors he always loved.
Services: Memorial, 11 a.m. Friday, December 5 at T.K. Thomas Funeral Home, 145 Delaware Ave, Palmerton. Call 10-11 a.m. Friday.
