Michael Clevenger

Michael "Mike" Clevenger, of Warsaw, passed away peacefully at his home on May 13, 2023, at the age of 76 with his loving wife Sherlene by his side. He was born on July 19, 1946, in Muncie, Indiana to Gail and Mildred Meyer Clevenger.

Mike graduated from Muncie Central High School in 1964 before enlisting in the Navy in 1967. He served his country honorably before returning home to pursue a successful career in banking and real estate. He worked as a Branch Manager for American National Bank and Central Bank and Trust in Muncie, as Circulation Manager for The Paper, and as a realtor in North Webster and Florida. He was also very proud to be one of several Amenities Managers in the Florida Fountain Lakes Community in which he and his wife lived. Mike was a dedicated, hard worker but always put his loved ones first.

On April 24, 1973, Mike married his true love, Sherlene Flannery. They first met when Mike was working at the bank, and they shared their first date on New Years Eve. The two celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary shortly before his passing.

In addition to his professional achievements, Mike was an avid bowler who proudly earned a spot in the Bowler Hall of Fame. He loved going to national bowling tournaments around the country where he made lifelong friends. Mike also enjoyed spending time at casinos. When he wasn't bowling or gambling, Mike could be found on the water, deep sea or lake fishing and boating with his wife. He also enjoyed playing golf and tennis as well as dancing with Sherlene.

Mike's sense of humor was legendary among those who knew him. His wit was matched only by his big heart and incredible empathy for others. Those who were lucky enough to know him will miss his trusting nature as well as his sarcastic charm.
