Michael Steven Schlichting of Kiel died the evening of Sunday, April 22, 2018 at Theda Clark, Neenah, surrounded by his loving family.

Mike was born on October 25, 1948 to Ruth (Wieting) Schlichting and the late Eugene Schlichting in Oakland, California where his father (Gene) was serving in the Navy.  Michael graduated from Juneau High School and soon after moved to the Sheboygan area.
