Mike was born on April 10, 1951, to Ernest and Vivian Vance Redinger, of Argos. He is survived by his siblings: David Redinger, Argos; Ellen (Ray) Wolff, Warsaw; and Gloria Redinger, Bloomington, Ill.; niece, Rachel (John) Gruet, Cedarville, Ohio; nephew, Caleb Acton, Xenia, Ohio; and four great-nephews: Chase, Devin, Trey and Brice Gruet, Cedarville, Ohio.
Mike was preceded in death by his father, Ernest, in 2005; his mother, Vivian, in 2010; and his elder sister, Jackie, in 1999.
He lived in Argos his entire life, graduating with the Class of 1969 from Argos High School. His first job was hauling lumber for Wickes Lumber, Argos. He worked 29 years for Lemler Oil, Bourbon, before retiring in 2018.
Mike enjoyed participating in tractor pulls and then showing his Moline tractors at the Bourbon Antique Tractor and Engine Show. He enjoyed hunting with his father and brother, skeet shooting and trapping. In the autumn of 1969, he traveled to South Dakota to hunt pheasant with his dad – a trip he thoroughly enjoyed.
There will be a graveside service for family on Saturday, Jan. 2 at the Walnut Church of the Brethren Cemetery.
Deaton-Clemens Funeral Home, Bourbon, is privileged to be entrusted with arrangements.
Thank you to our friends and community for your support during this difficult time.
