On October 13, 2025, Michael Pagel peacefully passed away, surrounded by his girls — his greatest joy and pride.

Mike was a proud and devoted father, a loyal friend, and a true free spirit. He found happiness in the simple things — riding motorcycles, visiting the gun range, taking family trips to Disney, attending concerts (especially his favorite, Mötley Crüe), and spending every possible moment with his beloved wife, Taryn and daughters, Gracelyn and Remington.

He will be remembered for his fearless spirit, generous heart, and the deep love he shared with his family and friends. Mike's passing leaves a tremendous void in the lives of those who loved him most — especially his wife, Taryn, and their beautiful daughters.

Many have asked how they can help during this heartbreaking time. This fund has been created to support Taryn and the girls as they navigate life without Mike.

Taryn is the first person to jump in to help others so selflessly and would never ask for anything in return so now is our opportunity to support her as well. Donations will go toward helping provide stability and comfort for their family in the months ahead.

If you’re able, please consider donating or sharing this page with others who knew and loved Mike, Taryn, Gracelyn and Remi. Every contribution — no matter the size — is deeply appreciated and will make a meaningful difference for their family.

Thank you for your love, kindness, and support for this wonderful family as they honor Mike's memory and continue his legacy of love and strength.
