In Memory

Mike David Schelb

                                                                

Michael David Schelb, 70, of Mount Gilead and formerly of Marion, passed away at his home on Tuesday January 30, 2018.

Michael was born on February 3, 1947, in Marion, the son of the late George Daniel and Francis E. (Kruzkamp) Schelb. He graduated from Marion Catholic High School.

Michael was a man of many talents and worked as a TV repairman, vendor machine services and as an electrician. He had boundless energy and was constantly tinkering around his home. He was truly a jack of all trades.

His favorite place to be was at home at Hidden Lakes. It was there that he found his peace and enjoyed the tranquility of nature. He served on the board of directors for the camp ground.

He is survived by his only son David Michael Schelb; former daughter-in-law Jamie Schelb; grandchildren: Aaron, Virginia, and Allen; and his beloved dog of 20 years, Arrow.

Services will be held at a later date.

The Snyder Funeral Homes of Marion are honored to be serving the family; condolences may be expressed to the family by visiting www.SnyderFuneralHomes.com.

Mike was always an easy going guy no matter the situations.

He was a great asset to Catholic's track team as a pole vaulter.

I wish his family and friends the best.

Did not know Mike that well even though we were neighbors. I also remember he was a pole vaulter. May he rest in peace and condolences to his family.

I, too, remember Mike quite well, as he was also an "Oak Streeter"!   Yes, Mike did quite well as being a pole vaulter, but only after some painful afternoons of practice at the side of his home as he would come down on the hard ground after his high vaults!  Finally, he got some foam rubber so as to eze his falls.  We used to call him "Merc" because of the Mercury emblem sewn on his green and white letter sweater.  He pretty much "did his own thing", and that's okay.  To each his own!   May you rest in peace, Michael.
