Michael Gallagher

SHOREWOOD — Michael Eugene Gallagher, 48, passed away quietly, with his family around him Tuesday March 2, 2021, in Shorewood.

Surviving are his parents, Merrilee Gallagher, of Ft. Myers, Fla., and Richard (Dee Yehling) Gallagher, of Wilmington; three sisters, Traci (John) Curl, Kelly (Brian) Clauson and DeeDee Jandeska; one brother, Neil “Mugsy” (Erin) Gallagher; nieces, Brittany, Grace and Jade; nephews, Joe, Leland, Liam and Kyle; great-nieces and great-nephews, Carson, Ryan, Brandon, Jenna, Kale, Judah and Wyatt; aunts and uncles, Ken and Loretta Gallagher, Betty Gallagher, Paulette and Joe Wilda, Bruno Klotz and Greg Flint; along with many cousins and friends, including the “Manhattan House Guys,” Gerald, Michael, Tony, Marty and Jay.

Michael loved baseball games and was an avid Cubs and Bears fan. He looked forward to attending Mass at St. Joe’s church with his dad, where the music always put him in a good mood. Mike was very drawn to people and knew how to work a crowd like a politician at a county fair. He graduated from the Lincoln Way Area Special Education School and had lived at Trinity Services since he was 23 years old.

A visitation was held from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday, March 8, at the Forsythe Gould Funeral Home, Manhattan. The funeral procession to Mass began at 10 a.m. Tuesday, March 9, at the Forsythe Gould Funeral Home, Manhattan, and continue to St. Joseph Catholic Church, Manhattan, for the Mass of Christian Burial. Interment was in St. Joseph Cemetery, Manhattan.

Memorials may be made to Trinity Services or St. Joseph Church.
