September 8, 1961 — September 26, 2026

Michael Abel, born on September 8, 1961, in Chatham, Illinois, embarked on his eternal journey on September 26, 2026, in the serene landscapes of Colorado. His passing was unexpected, leaving a profound void in the lives of those who knew and loved him. Michael was the beloved son of Rusty and Debbie Abel, who preceded him in death. A proud graduate of Chatham High School, Michael dedicated 31 years to his craft as a union pipefitter. Michael had one daughter, Morgan, who resides in Kincaid. Michael was also a devoted brother to his four sisters and one brother, and a cherished uncle to his many nieces and nephews. His family was the cornerstone of his life, and he cherished every moment spent with them. The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to Bush Funeral Home for their compassionate care and professionalism in arranging Michael's services. Private services will be held October 6th, 2026 at 11:00AM.

In lieu of flowers, the family of Michael L Abel welcomes donations to a charity, nonprofit, church, or organization of your choosing.
