Michael Arnold Rosendahl (52) went home to be with the Lord on May 8, 2017. Mike was a man who loved life, his family, and his friends. He was constantly serving and helping others whether painting a room, fixing his sons' trucks and volunteering for their sports, or showing a house. His thoughtful and big heart was always evident, and his love for the Lord shone brightly in all he did. Mike's compassionate heart made him the first to pitch in and help anyone in need - no matter the time or circumstance. He loved to connect with the Lord through nature. The loss of such a man is felt greatly by his family, his friends, the community, and the world.
Mike is preceded in death by his father Dennis and survived by his wife Dawn, his daughter LeighAnn McGeehan (Sean), his sons Cameron and Jeremy, his grandsons Landen and Declan McGeehan, and nephew Jaden Schill. He is also survived by his mother Hilde Rosendahl, step-mother Chris Rosendahl, brother Leon (Sharon), sister Bernice Rosendahl, brother Chip Shurley (Suzanne), sister Pam Toney (Jim), Sister Tina Brown (Jeff), and brother of the heart Patrick Freshour. Cousins Diana Swann, Becky Godfrey, Yasmin Eris, and Larry Pellett. He is also survived by Kevin Boehmerle, Vanessa Boehmerle, Josh Rosendahl, Kristin Bradberry, Lauren Phillips, Chris Phillips, Courtney Phillips, Jessica Syracuse, Amanda Wilson, Chris Toney, James Toney, Meghan Blanchard, and Ryan Shurley.

I have been a next door neighbor of Mike and Dawn for the past 10-11 yrs. since we both moved into Winfield Subdivision. I watched their kids grow up to be beautiful young adults. Mike was always very helpful, always had a smile on his face and spoke to his neighbors regardless if he was having a good or bad day. He has always referred customers to us for our moving services and was always watching out for all his neighbors. I still remember the day we met him and Dawn with a welcome to the neighborhood gift. You could tell right then that he would be a great neighbor. My husband and Mike would talk a few times a week about their kids and what was going on in the world. We're going to miss you Mike. Jose and Charisse Matthews

We met mike about 6 years ago at kell high school. His son played football with our son. They started as freshmen together. So we always talked about the boys and the team. He was such a nice guy, he would always have a smile on his face. He would always help you out no matter what it was. He would never ask for anything in return. We are happy and proud to have called mike our friend. He made our lives better just to have known him. He will definitely missed by everyone in our family. To his family, which we know very well, stay strong. I can only imagine the pain you are going through right now. But remember you have friends in the Robinson family. We will be praying for all of you. If you ever need us for anything feel free to ask. Once again we are so sorry for your loss, god bless you all, and our friend mike.

I didn't know Michael, but his step mother, Chris and I were best friends all the way through school. I met his dad at several of our high school reunions and if Michael was like his dad, he was a good man. Chris, my heart breaks for you and your family. You and your family are in my prayers and if there is anything I can do now or later, please let me know.

Liebe Dawn mit Kinder,
ich möchte Euch mein herzliches Beileid aussprechen.
Heute Morgen hatte mich eine bekannte von Sybille (Ufo) in Kenntnis gesetzt,
dass Mike tödlich verunglückt ist. Ich bin sehr traurig über diese Nachricht.
Mike war ein sehr guter Freund von mir. Auch wenn wir schon länger kein Kontakt mehr hatten, so blieb er doch immer in meinen Gedanken und Herzen.
Dir, liebe Dawn, sowie deinen Kindern wünsche ich viel Kraft in dieser schweren Zeit

Unser Herz will dich halten, unsere Liebe dich umfassen, doch unser Verstand muss dich loslassen. Trost gibt uns die Erinnerung und die Hoffnung auf ein Wiedersehen

Liebe Dawn, Worte können den Schmerz nicht ausdrücken, den Ihr gerade durchleidet. Mit Mike ist ein solch einzigartiger Mensch aus unserer Mitte gerissen worden. Auch ich bin darüber voller Trauer und gleichzeitig voller Mitgefühl für Euch. Doch auf die Zeit der Tränen wird bald die Zeit der Dankbarkeit folgen, in der Ihr voller Freude an Euren Mike zurückdenken werdet.
Die Lebenszeit die ich mit Mike verbringen durfte war ein groes Geschenk, ich halte an diesen schönen Gedanken mit meinem "kleine Bruder" fest und trage ihn mit liebe in meinen Herzen. Diese Dankbarkeit schenkt mir Zuversicht, dass auf Euch auch wieder Tage der freudigen Erinnerung warten.
Sein Engagement in den unterschiedlichsten Bereichen lässt sein Andenken unsterblich werden, auch wenn Mike für immer von uns gegangen ist. Für andere da zu sein, war für Mike selbstverständlich und zeichnete ihn aus.
Ich wünsche Dir liebe Dawn und Deinen Kindern ganz viel Kraft und Hoffnung für diese Zeit.
Die Erinnerung kann niemand nehmen.
Aufrichtige Anteilnahme entbietet

Mike was one of God's finest gifts to all of us that knew him. I treasured his friendship. We often talked about his kids, his grandkids and his wife. His love of family was so strong and that is what impressed me most about him. My prayers go out to his family and to his friends. We all will miss him.
