Michael Lee Stallfus of Suwanee, GA died at age 65, surrounded by his family. Michael was born in Toledo, Ohio on August 26, 1952 to parents Carl and Vivian. He married the love of his life, Amy (Sido) Stallfus on December 15, 1973. Michael’s love of music started as a young man in the Stallfus garage with his high school band mates in Nuclear Orange, and continued through his life. Michael graduated from the University of Toledo in 1974, then with a second degree in 1984. He then went on to succeed in business and entrepreneurship starting at UPS, moving into technology for the majority of his career including his own business, Practical Solutions, teaching technical certification, then culminating as a project manager at First Data.
Michael brought a fun and mischievous quality to life, easily making friends, creating family traditions like running the Peachtree Road Race each year since 1997 and singing loudly and in multiple keys with every birthday cake. Michael was a dedicated father, coaching soccer, going on bicycling trips, teaching car repair, and attending UGA and Falcons football games. When Michael became Avo, his grandchildren provided true joy, which was returned in spades with loud laughter, the best tickles, endless games and clandestine cookies. Uncle Mike was well regarded based on his wit, career and life advice, and inclusion into the “out-laws.” Michael was a loving brother, keeping up a life long friendship with his sisters.
Michael is survived by his wife Amy (Sido) Stallfus, daughter Reagan (Stallfus) Jamell, her husband Josh Jamell, their children Miles (2) and June (4 months), son Nathan Stallfus, preceded by son Aaron Stallfus, survived by daughter-in-law Katy Stallfus, their daughter Avril (5), preceded by his father Carl, survived by his mother Vivian, sister Karen, sister Kay, her huband Tom as well as many in-laws, nieces and nephews.
We will gather to celebrate Michael’s life on Saturday, June 30 from 3:00 – 6:00 pm with a casual, fun party at Tucker Brewing Company, 2003 South Bibb Drive
Tucker, Georgia 30084.
