Michael J.
Michael J. Emerson, age 40, of Curtice, Ohio passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, November 11, 2015. He was born on November 22, 1974, in Fremont, Ohio to Joseph and Yoshiko Emerson. Mike was a 1993 graduate of Clay High School and earned a Bachelor's degree from the University of Toledo. He worked for First Solar for the past year as a maintenance technician and previously for Pitney-Bowes for 10 years.
Mike was a true family man. He was avidly involved with his children's sporting events and coached all their youth sporting teams including baseball, basketball, football and soccer. In his spare time, Mike enjoyed boating, cooking, watching Ohio State football, being "Coach Mike" and cheering for the Genoa Comets. He will be sorely missed by his family and many close friends.

He was a "great" and beloved uncle to 13 nieces and nephews and 2 great-nephews. Mike was preceded in death by his mother, Yoshiko Emerson.

Dear Mike, yesterday I was diagnosed by CT scanw/contrast that I have the same life threatening blood clot disorder on my heart and lungs that so tragically took you from us 4 years ago. I am pursuing treatment, but it just really made me think of you if it could have only been found sooner. All my prayers to you my friend. You are missed.

Words cannot express my sorrow. My most sincere condolences to the Emerson family, especially Sue, Jacob & Olivia. I considered Mike to be a close friend, but more importantly, the type of Father, Husband, son, and brother that I could only inspire to be. This world is a lesser place without him in it. Rest in peace, you are missed.
