Mike W. Pringle passed away after a fight with Covid on August 3, 2021 with wife Sarah, children Leisa and Chad and brother Gary by his side. He was 59 years old when God called him home.

Mike was such a wonderful, caring, Christian, talented man that I was blessed to have for my husband for over 40 years. We were H.S. sweethearts and married March 20, 1981. Mike is truly the love of my life, we loved spending time together. We so enjoyed taking our kids and grand kids to the lake and camping. He always had fun watching them tubing and skiing and to see how high they could fly :) God has blessed us with two children Leisa and Chad (Angela) Pringle, four grandchildren Alyssa, Tanner, Mylah, Mackenzie, and one great grandchild Augustina. Mike was our "Rock" that held our family together and I will forever be grateful for the many years we shared together. Mike really enjoyed his 25 years with the Springfield Fire Dept. as the equipment operator and all the different crews he worked with, they truly are a family unit that he really enjoyed being a part of and oh the stories he could tell :) Mike had such a talented eye for working on things from household misc. to race cars; he would tackle pretty much anything and was quite the metal fabricator.

Mike was preceded in death by his parents Don and Peggy and his paternal and maternal grandparents.

He is survived by his wife Sarah, one daughter Leisa Pringle, one son Chad Pringle (wife Angela), one brother Gary Pringle (wife Brenda), one sister Donna Ray (husband Wally), four grandchildren Alyssa, Tanner, Mylah, Mackenzie, one great-granddaughter Augustina and numerous nieces, nephews, friends and family.
