Mike Smith, 53, passed away unexpectedly Saturday, January 4, 2020 at Porter Hospital. He was born June 30, 1966 in Hammond, Indiana to William and Margie Smith.
Mike lived his years in the Indiana Region where he met his wife Cheryl Smith (nee Pittman). They celebrated 33 years of marriage together in June. He worked at KM Plant Services. He loved dirt track racing and wrestling. More than anything else, though, he enjoyed playing with his Grandchildren, who he loved dearly. Mike was well known to his co-workers and got along with everyone he came into contact with. If you knew Mike, you knew he was stubborn in his ways, but was always willing to lend a hand to anyone in need. His last gift and final effort of selflessness being that he donated his organs at the time of passing, to further help those in need.
He was preceded in death by his parents, William and Margie Smith, along with three sisters and three brothers.
Survived by his loving wife, Cheryl, his son John (Beth) Nieto, their four children, daughter Ashley (Mike) Corcoran (nee Smith), their three children, and numerous nieces and nephews.
A service of remembrance will be held Saturday, February 29, 2020, from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm, at Eagle Hall, 20 W. 37th Ave., Hobart, Indiana 46342. Those who wish to remember Mike in a special way may donate to the family or send flowers at the time of services.
