Michael Frederick Bach

Michael "Mike" Frederick Bach, age 66, of Sebewaing, was called to heaven on December 25, 2025.

Mike was born in Garland, Texas on December 13, 1959, to Donald and Anna Marie (Prieninger) Bach. He was an electrician by trade, working for Lydon Paul Electric in Garland, Texas and then for B's Electric of Sebewaing after moving to Michigan with his wife in November 1998. Mike met Jeanette Engelhardt at Peace Lutheran Church in Garland, where Mike was baptized and confirmed. They were married there on July 30, 1993.

Even though Mike lived in Michigan for more than twenty-five years, he was a "Texan at heart". Mike was kind, considerate, friendly and willing to help anyone.

Mike also loved animals. Over the years, he and Jeanette adopted many dogs and cats. One dog and three cats made the trip with them from Texas to Michigan in 1998. Whenever a beloved pet passed away, Mike made a casket for it to be buried in one of Jeanette's flower beds.

Left to treasure his memory is his wife, Jeanette; sisters: Donna (David) Haile and Jenifer (Mike) Wang; nieces and nephews: Michael Wang, Brian Wang, Deidre Haile and Dylan Haile; great nieces and nephews; brothers-in-law: Kenneth Engelhardt and David (Pat) Engelhardt; and sister-in-law, Joy (Gilbert) Sprague.

Mike was preceded in death by his mother, father and step mother, Verna.
