Michael W. Freeman

Michael W. Free­man, 23, of Delaware died unex­pect­edly Sun­day (Jan. 8, 2012) at home.

He was born on Dec. 3, 1988 in For­t­aleza, Brazil. He was the old­est child of William A. and Karen A. (Stoner) Free­man of Galena. He was a grad­u­ate of Olen­tangy High School in 2007. He was a life­long res­i­dent of Delaware County, but con­sid­ered Delaware home for the past three years. Kind and friendly, he was quiet in nature and enjoyed music of all types — the louder the bet­ter. He was a mem­ber of Rural Chapel United Methodist Church. Michael was an avid skate­boarder since the age of 10. He was truly at peace on the ramps of Mingo Park, his favorite place to ride. Ani­mals also held a spe­cial place in his heart, espe­cially his endeared cat and com­forter Abby.

In addi­tion to his par­ents, he is also sur­vived by his twin sis­ters, Megan and Michelle; mater­nal grand­par­ents, Bill (Marge) Stoner of Lex­ing­ton; aunts; uncles; extended fam­ily; and friends.

He was pre­ceded in death by pater­nal grand­par­ents, Ray­mond and Edna Freeman.

Friends may call one hour prior to the 10 a.m. Sat­ur­day funeral ser­vices at the DeVore-Snyder Funeral Home, 75 W. William St. in Delaware. Bur­ial will fol­low in Cheshire Cemetery.

Memo­r­ial con­tri­bu­tions can be made to the Humane Soci­ety of Delaware County, 4920 SR 37 E., Delaware, OH 43015.
