Bret Michael "Mikey" Umbel, 44, of Mifflinburg entered into the arms of Jesus on Tuesday, June 6, 2023 at Evangelical Community Hospital. His parents were by his side while he peacefully left this world. He will now spend eternity doing all the things that he could never do in his life on this earth.
Born on November 3, 1978 in Lewisburg, a son of Bret and Kathy Umbel of Mifflinburg.
Mike was a graduate of Mifflinburg Area High class of 2000, where he was enrolled in the life skills program. After school he attended SUNCOM industries for many years.
A highlight for Mike in the summer was to attend Wesley Forest Special needs camp, where he enjoyed crafts, games, swimming, and worship. He very much enjoyed going for long walks. After living at home for 41 years, Mike moved into a group home where he made several new friends. Mike had many physical challenges but you rarely saw him without a smile. He is now reunited in heaven with several former classmates, including Freddy, Ivan, Joseph, and Marian.
Mike and the family would like to thank the many compassionate caregivers that they have been blessed with over the years.
Surviving in addition to his parents are his brother and sister-in-law, Dan and Erica Umbel of Millhiem, a sister and brother-in-law, Emilee and Andy Kurtz of Mifflinburg, 5 nieces and nephews, Sydney and Claire Umbel, Lincoln, Bayleigh and Tucker Kurtz, and paternal grandfather, William Umbel and his wife Joan of Wyomissing. He is also survived by numerous aunts and uncles.
He is preceded in death by paternal grandmother, Patsy Umbel, and maternal grandparents, Joseph McElroy and Rosalie Roush.
