Michael Hooton

April 8, 1950 — May 25, 2023

Michael "Big Mike" Hooton, age 73, of Toledo, passed away peacefully Thursday, May 25, 2023 at Hospice of Northwest Ohio, Toledo surrounded by his loving family. He was born on April 8, 1950 to Everette and Alice (Brown) Hooton in Toledo. Mike was a veteran of the U.S. Coast Guard proudly serving in the Vietnam War. He worked as a roofer for many years at Rembrandt Roofing. Mike was also a member of the Roofers Local Union #134. Big Mike enjoyed hanging in Sawicki parking lot drinking beer with friends and family. He loved his family deeply, was always protecting those he loved, and his son Ryan was his whole world.
