MICHAEL ‘MIKE’ GEORGE MISKANIN JR

 Michael George Miskanin, Jr., peacefully went home to Heaven, to be with God, on the morning of June 17th, 2023, at the age of 71.
He is survived by his loving wife, Tami Hileman Miskanin, and his three beloved children: Marissa Anne Miskanin (Mike Rose), Angelica Joy Miskanin (Michael Gartley), and Michael George Miskanin III (Robbin Miskanin). He is also survived by his precious grandchildren: Abraham Miska Gartley, Michael “Mickey” George Miskanin IV, and Elise Annika Miskanin, sisters: Donna Kolencik (Tom Kolencik) and Marita Gaddis (Eddie Molek), stepdaughters Mirelle Tiffany Spector and Teal Michelle Messner, and step-granddaughters: Brighten Lena, and Karis Faith Spector.
Mike was a favorite Laurel Highlands elementary and middle school teacher for 34 years. As an ASA umpire, Mike took an organization with three umpires and expanded it to 70, working almost every baseball and softball league in Fayette County. He was the Club Steward for the Catholic War Veterans, instrumental in creating the Veterans’ Flag project and mural on the Post Home 1669. Mike also cared for countless lawns throughout the community with his successful lawn business.
As a leader in the local baseball community, Mike was an inspiration to all. His dedication to this commitment touched the lives of many, and will continue to do so for many years to come.  
He was a good man with a heart of gold who loved children, animals, and sports.  He was known for his strong work ethic, holding four or more jobs even in retirement. He was a funny, generous, kind, and gentle man. Mike has been dearly loved and he will be deeply missed.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Anelska “Nell” Miskanin and Michael George Miskanin Sr.
