Michael Alexander Lemerise, age 31, of West Salem, passed away on September 13, 2019. He was born on October 3, 1987, in Garfield Heights, OH to Ronald and Maria (nee Pingitzer) Lemerise.
Michael was always full of life, ready to have fun, and could light up a room with his contagious laugh. He was understanding, empathetic, kind and compassionate. He would give the shirt off his back to any of his friends in need. He loved music, animals, cooking and making people laugh.
He will be dearly missed by his parents; sister, Amanda (Scott) Houston; and his aunts & uncles, Kathy, Suzanne (Dean), Lauren, Robert (Heidi), Roger, Dennis, and James (Jessica).
He was preceded in death by his uncle, Richard; and his grandparents, Sandor & Maria (nee Marothy) Pingitzer and Patricia (nee Miller).
Friends may join the family for a Celebration of Michael’s Life on Saturday, September 21, 2019, from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM at Carlson Funeral Homes & Cremation Services, 3477 Medina Road, Medina, OH 44256. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Michael’s name to the Stark County Humane Society.
