Michael Stein of Dorr died Monday, June 16, after suffering cardiac arrest. Born Oct. 9, 1963, he was 61.
His daughter said on Facebook that Stein’s heart stopped five times Sunday, June 15, before he was stabilized. He died a day later.
Michael was born Oct. 9, 1963, in Sault Ste. Marie, to Phyllis Cameron and Elvie Stein. He was a proud graduate from Wayland Public Schools, where he played many sports, including football and cross country.
At his time of death, he worked at Johnson Controls Inc. as a sales technician, selling and installing fire prevention systems. Mike loved his career because it gave him endless opportunities for visiting different cities and exploring Michigan while providing fire suppression solutions throughout Michigan.
Mike was a major sports fan; his favorite teams were the Detroit Tigers, Detroit Lions, and Michigan football.
He loved being outdoors and taking in as many sights as he could, including photo opportunities. He enjoyed photography and had many photo albums with beautiful photos of the sights he had seen. One of his most cherished places he visited was England.
Those who knew Mike would remember him as a kind, compassionate, and selfless person.
He is survived by his siblings Debbie Villarreal, Elvie (Tammy) Stein, Pat Landon, Pamela (John) Johnson and Brian Cameron; his daughters Angela (Joe) Johnson, Amanda (Fernando) Ree, Megan (Josh) DeBruyne; five grandchildren Tamara, Trenton, Aleeka, Eveart and Lincoln; one great-grandchild; along with extended family.
