The School City of Mishawaka community mourns the passing of a beloved colleague, neighbor, and friend.
Mike Faulkner served as the operations director for School City of Mishawaka. He was the assistant athletic director at Mishawaka High School before assuming this position.
Monday morning, School City of Mishawaka issued the following statement on its Facebook page:
It is with the deepest of sadness that I share the passing of our dear colleague and friend, Mike Faulkner, Director of Operations. Mike passed away peacefully last evening, Sunday, September 25, surrounded by those he loved most.
Mike was an incredibly valued member of the SCM Family for many years. Though he wore many hats over his tenure with SCM, he set the standard for them all. Yet Mike was far more than any position or accomplishment, he was a difference maker in the lives of everyone he encountered.
As much as Beef loved Mishawaka, his love for his family was far greater. He will be remembered as the type of husband we wish for our children, the kind of parent any child would be so privileged to call dad, and the best of leader, coach, mentor, colleague, and friend. Our continued prayers and support are with Mike’s family: Monique, Alex, Austin, Angel, Larry, and the many other extended members of the Faulkner Family. Information on memorial services will be shared in the coming days.
He was 53 years old.
