Michael Stump Obituary
Mike graduated from Bowling Green State University and Baldwin Wallace University and embarked on a long career in purchasing and supply chain management, most recently with Bendix in Avon, Lincoln Electric, Freudenburg NOK, General Electric and Parker Hannifin. He was passionate about his career and was most proud of mentoring others, leaving a lasting mark on countless co-workers at every company where he worked.
A life-long sports nut, Mike loved coaching his sons in Little League, travel baseball, and CYO and AAU Basketball. He then continued to pass on his knowledge and enthusiasm as a baseball umpire and basketball referee. He was the scorekeeper for the Lake Erie Crushers for three years. Mike became a fan of the Green Bay Packers during the Bart Starr years in the 1970s, and followed the Browns, Cavs, and Indians.
Mike loved classic rock and enjoyed attending concerts, laid back beach vacations, and a new-found appreciation of Kentucky bourbon.
Family, friends, and co-workers will miss his booming voice, words of advice and encouragement, and sincere concern for their well-being.
As Mike would say, he "kicked the can" for 7 years undergoing treatments and participating in clinical trials at the OSU James Cancer Hospital to treat a rare neuroendocrine cancer. The family wishes to thank the OSU Neuroendocrine Cancer Team for their caring expertise. Also, the staffs at Avon Jacobs Cleveland Clinic (3rd floor east) and Ames Family Hospice for their excellent care over the past month. A special thanks to Azizeh from Griswold Home Care.
The family requests no flowers. Please consider a donation in Mike's name to the Neuro Endocrine Tumors Research and Program Fund at OSU at https://go.osu.edu/mikestump.
The family will receive friends on Monday, February12, 2024 from 4-8 p.m. at the MISENCIK FUNERAL HOME, 36363 Detroit Rd., Avon. A funeral Mass will be held at HOLY TRINITY CATHOLIC CHURCH, 33601 Detroit Rd., Avon at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, February 13, 2024. (PLEASE MEET AT CHURCH). Interment will be private.

What a wonderful person. Just found out. He would call me out of the blue to check in. He never mentioned the specifics on what he was dealing with. Just said, 'some things are going on'. A wonderful family as well. We worked closely at Lincoln Electric and kept in touch over the years.

It is with great sympathy that I express my condolences in my nephew Michael´s passing. My family and I had a special bond with Jean, Jerry and Michael. Through the years, our families visited and vacationed together. Mike was a special part of our family, always very caring, respectful and considerate. Last year Mike and Laura came to visit me, and I was very grateful for that time together. I am happy to say that Mike and Laura raised a beautiful family with these same values.

My heart goes out to The Stump Family. I got to know Mike over the years as a supplier to Bendix. We had a memorable trip to Germany together and became friends over many meetings, meals, and beers over the past 10 years. Mike loved his family, was a dedicated hard working employee of Bendix, and always put a smile on my face with his stories and great sense of humor. The Kaysun team will miss you Mike. God bless.

Laura, Erik ,Adam and Alex,
We are heartbroken at the news of Mike's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you now and in the days ahead. We wish you peace and strength.
Although we didn't know of Mike's recent struggles, we are sure he handled them with faith and hope, and a bit of humor with you all by his side. His love and pride for you was always evident.
We have been reminiscing about our many memories of Mike- all of which bring smiles through our tears. We feel fortunate to call him a friend of many years, beginning with Little League of course. He always had a smile, a hug, and a story to share.
Laura, we are grateful that you and Mike were with us for Evan's wedding and only wish we had more time to share.
Please know that there is an entire community surrounding your family with love at this time.
With love and prayers,
Kelley, Jim, Evan, Rachel and Josh Chokan

My deepest condolences to Laura and Adam and his brothers and family. Mike was a terrific all around person and will be sorely missed. I last spoke with him at Bendix when I was on a consulting assignment in Dec 2022 when I visited his office to chat. It was great to catch up about the family. Our son Clay enjoyed being coached by
Mike on the 7th grade holy trinity basketball team where Mike helped the boys bond and form long term friendships as teammates

Mike was such a wonderful manager, such a mentor. He hired me into the Gpe group and I could not be happier. My heart is broken. Hugs to Laura and the boys.
