Michael Lee Mann was born July 20, 1957, to Myrna and Howard, Jr. Mann and entered Heaven on May 5, 2026, at the age of 68.  After Mike's father died in a plane crash, his two sets of grandparents, Oleta and Clifford Mitchell and Dora and Howard Mann, helped raise him.

Mike graduated from Tyrone High School where he developed lifelong friendships and played football, basketball, and baseball. He helped his football team reach the state championship his senior year.

While in college at Northwestern Oklahoma State University, Mike met Judy, and they married on August 9, 1978. To this union three loving, caring children were born: Wendy, Misty, and Ky.

Mike taught elementary through junior high classes and coached elementary through high school sports teams throughout his 42-year career, ending his career at Pretty Water School where he taught for 24 years.

Mike was preceded in death by his parents, grandparents, and his brother. He is survived by his wife Judy, daughter Wendy and husband Samuel McAllister, daughter Misty and husband Randy Bolstad, son Ky and fiancee Aletta, and 8 grandchildren. Mike was loved by many outside of his immediate family including his Aunt Kay and Uncle Matt Rodewald. Mike loved his family, students, colleagues and dear friends very much and would want all of us to remember what a wonderful, giving, caring person he was.
