PRINCETON, Kan. – Michael Paul Scheckel, 37, of Princeton, Kan., passed away on Thursday, Dec. 9, 2021, at Advent Health Shawnee Mission. He was born May 23, 1984, in Garnett, Kan., the son of Lynard Scheckel and Pamela (Olsen) Scheckel.

Mike attended school in Garnett before graduating from Anderson County High School. Mike worked for Scheckel Farms for several years before going to work in Kansas City as a laborer with Miles Excavating. Mike worked as an operator and a laborer for several construction companies in and around Kansas City over the last 15 years.

Mike enjoyed riding motorcycles, fishing, bird hunting, gardening. Mike had an ornery streak that led him to many adventures in his younger days. He prided himself on completing whatever task he set out to do. With that twinkle in his eye and his giggle, you could guess that he was thinking about what he had just done or what he was about to do.

He was united in marriage to Melissa Tevis, May 30, 2014, in Miami, Okla. They made their home in Osage City, Kan. In 2016, they were blessed with one son, Dylan Michael Scheckel.

Mike is survived by his wife, Melissa, and son, Dylan, of the home; daughter, Lyris Starr Scheckel; father, Lynard Scheckel; mother, Pamela Scheckel; sister, Melissa Rivera and husband, Alex, of Syracuse, Mo.; niece, Aliyah; nephews, Eric, Tyler and Joshua; and many other relatives and friends.
