Michael R. Crossley, known to many as Mike, was a kind and generous soul who touched the lives of all he met. Born in Lima, Ohio, Mike served his country proudly after graduating from Lima Shawnee, joining the Marines and serving in Vietnam. Following his military service, he dedicated his career to working with Pepsi as a Special Events Manager, where he enjoyed participating in festivals, Parties in the Park, fairs, and countless other events, always bringing his cheerful spirit to those around him.

Mike was widely recognized as one of the nicest guys anyone could know, known for his friendly demeanor and warm heart.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Russell and Beatrice Crossley. Mike is survived by his beloved wife of 35 years, Shelley; his children, Jennifer (Ron) Cavey, Andrew (Kerri) Crossley, and Peter (Tanya) Crossley; his sisters, Kathleen Crossley and Christine Millets; and his brother, James Crossley.

A private memorial service will be held at a later date to honor his memory.
