Michael Joseph Cunningham died December 14th at age 81. He was born in Portland, Oregon on October 26, 1942.

Mike graduated from Jesuit High School and attended Portland State University. In 1972 Mike married Sandra Seifer in Portland where they raised their two sons, Ryan and Casey.

After retiring from the Portland Water Bureau, Mike and Sandi moved to Silverton in 2004 where Mike enjoyed delivering Meals On Wheels and driving for the Silverton Hospital Care Van. Mike's humor and friendly, kind, and helpful manner will be missed by his family and many others who knew him.

Mike is survived by his wife of 51 years Sandi, sons Ryan (Angie) Cunningham of Portland, Casey Cunningham (Michelle Jin) of Portland, grandchildren Cade, Paige, and Avery Cunningham, brother Fred Cunningham, sisters Kathy Stine and Mary Drennen, and many nieces and nephews.

Mike was preceded in death by his parents Fred and Lenore Cunningham, brother Richard Cunningham, sister Beth Hiestand, and infant grandson Brodie Cunningham.

A celebration of Mike's life will be held at a later date.
