Michael A Kraft, 59, of Obetz, Ohio, passed away August 15, 2024. He was born on August 11, 1965.
He studied at Southeast Career Center and was a graduate of Marion Franklin High School. Soon after graduating he took a job at the Herman Falter Packing Company until 1993, where he began working at Pitt Ohio Express. His career spanned over the course of 30 years there until his sudden passing.
He was known to always have his music on and garage door open . Whether you needed help with a project, advice, to vent, or just stopping by to chat, he would welcome you in. You were never a stranger when you were in Mike's garage. Whenever he encountered someone in need, he would drop everything to lend a hand. His knowledge spanned an impressive range of subjects, and if there was something he didn't know, he would seek out the information. He played the role of a father figure for those without one. He was a son, a brother, an uncle, a husband, a father, and a grandfather. And above all, he was an amazing man. He will be greatly missed by all.
And as he would always say, "Glad you got to see me."
