Mike Wahlrobe's spirit departed his earthly body on May 29, 2023, to begin its next journey. Mike was born on February 19, 1970, in Findlay, Ohio. He lived in Toledo for most of his adult life. He held a variety of jobs, at one time running his own handyman services company. Most recently he was an RV maintenance specialist.
He had three older brothers, all within 5 years of his age. When Mike was less than a year old, all 4 children were placed in foster care. Mike spent a portion of his 1st year of life hospitalized by conditions he inherited from his birth mother due to her life style during her pregnancy. It was this inherited condition that created additional obstacles for him to deal with during his entire lifetime.
He is survived by his adoptive father, Tom Wahlrobe; daughter, Leah Jean Wahlrobe and Leah's mother, Betsey Leigh Gregory; sister, Anne (Douglas) Koyle; brothers, Eric and Kevin Boss; stepbrother, Andrew Tousignant; and niece, Erin Koyle.
He was preceded in death by his adoptive mother, Verna Boyer, and his brother, David Boss.
Despite the challenges Mike inherited at birth, he maintained a sense of humor and a fighting spirit, battling to overcome the setbacks he encountered throughout his life. He never gave up when he was knocked down, and fought to come back stronger.
A celebration of life will be held from 2:00 – 4:00 PM Saturday, August 5, 2023 at the T. Whitehead Recovery Center, 2044 Genesee Street, Toledo, Ohio 43605. Further details will be provided.
