Michael Lee Schroeder
RUSSELL TWP. – Michael Lee Schroeder, age 61, of Russell Township, passed away Nov. 22, 2021, surrounded by family.
He was born Nov. 25, 1959, in Cleveland, to the late Frederick Richard Schroeder and Jeanne R. Schroeder (nee Ashton), of Russell Township.
Michael went to West Geauga High School, where he was highly competitive in sports.
He loved riding motocross, boating and anything that involved power and speed. Throughout his life, Mike brought passion to everything he cared about, including his work as a carpet and upholstery cleaning professional, his family and friends, and his pets — domestic or wild like him.
You could always count on Mikey for a smile, a nudge, a dastardly laugh and a big BANG at parties. He wore his heart on his sleeve and was always up for lending a helping hand to anyone who needed it.
Mike is survived by his mother, Jeanne R. Schroeder; daughter, Stephanie Gionti (Vincent), of Perry; granddaughter, Evelyn Gionti; brothers Wesley Scott, of Chardon, and Dale (Janis), of Mentor; nephew and nieces, Owen (Shauna), Jenna (Dave) and Mallory Schroeder.
He was preceded in death by his father, Frederick Richard Schroeder; brother, Fred Richard “Dickie;” and nephew Scott E. Schroeder.
He was also loved by his grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. Memories of Mike will forever bring a smile to our faces.
A celebration of Michael’s life will be held in 2022.
