Michael A. Mike Jr. 1954-2025

Michael was born Sept. 19, 1954, in Youngstown, to Michael A. Mike Sr. and Charlotte Saba Mike, and was a lifelong area resident. Michael was a 1972 graduate of Cardinal Mooney High School.

He worked alongside his father at Acme Steak Company, which his father began in 1947. They worked together for over 45 years and in the late 1980s, Michael A. Mike Jr. took over head of operations. He has worked alongside his son Michael A. Mike III to carry on the legacy that began so long ago.

Michael was dedicated to his work and to his family. He had a magnetic personality and a sharp sense of humor that captivated everyone around. His children admired him and his grandchildren adored him. He will be greatly missed and remembered for his kindness, generosity and humbleness.

He leaves behind his beloved wife of over 45 years, Charlotte Khoury Mike; their three children, Heather (Josh) Sulfaro, Michael A. (Despina) Mike III and George Mike; and his five grandchildren, Viggo, Lucius, Michael IV, Nichola and George; along with many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
