Michael worked as a maintenance supervisor for many years. He enjoyed nature and was an avid collector of oddities. He will be remembered for his whistle, his sense of humor, and being a very hard worker. He was a giver and loved fixing things and helping others. He always left people and things better than he found them.

Along with his wife Sherri, Michael is survived by his daughter, Calie Speth and his sons, Christopher (Ashley) Speth, and Eric Speth. Three step children, Amanda Eastman, Noah Carter, and Dominique Carter all from Michiana.  He will be deeply missed by his 9 grandchildren, Alena, Briseis, Myla, Lucy, Lola, Keagan, Kerrigan, Kieran, Blake and his nephew, Jason Rohrer of Niles, Mi.  Michael also leaves behind his close friends Morgan Orrick and Elizabeth (Betsy) Waltman.  He is preceded in death by his sister Pamela Speth.
