Frank Michael

Frank Dewane Michael, 89, was born September 6, 1935, and made his transition on September 16, 2024.

He was born at home in Slater, Iowa, to Arthur and Ingrid Michael, the second of eight siblings. He grew up attending Ballard Community School and upon graduation, worked at Armstrong Tire Corporation. He was a proud union member and stayed with the company through its many changes to retire from Titan Tire Corporation.

While in high school, he met the love of his life, Eleanor Belle Michael, and they were soon wed after their graduations. Together, they purchased a small acreage where they delighted in raising cattle, swine, chickens, pigeons, rabbits, Pomeranian dogs, and two sons. Together they loved to travel and garden. They were together until Eleanor’s transitioning in 2023.

He is survived by his two sons, Matthew and David (Lisa Ladd) Michael. Private family services will be held.
