Obituary For Michael La Mar Scheid

Michael La Mar Scheid was born in Florida on June 18th, 1948. His family then moved to a small town outside of La Crosse, Wisconsin where he attended a one room public school house. Michael proudly worked for the United States Postal Service in Madison until his retirement.

An adventurer, hobbyist, and animal lover, Michael was known as "Million Mile Mike" at Cascade Mountain where he spent 100 days on snow every winter. He was a member of Seven Hills Skydivers, an amateur pilot of his beloved paramotor aircraft "Free Bird", and a volunteer caretaker with the Circus World elephants in Baraboo. Michael is preceded in death by his parents, as well as his two brothers who were tragically lost early in life. Michael will be dearly missed by his friends and neighbors.

Per Michael's wishes no services will be held.

what our families say

Tiffany Foster went out of her way to fulfill all my requests, talked me through problems I was facing, and tried to make me feel as comfortable as possible when I was a wreck, totally crushed, and I thank her with all of my heart for that.

The professional manner of the staff made a difficult time a little easier.

Services provided for both parents were perfect, on time, and no issues. Brenda is awesome and strong!

Skyler was absolutely amazing. She was so caring and helpful through this whole process. She even went above and beyond to meet with us in DeForest and even to make a stop at our home to drop off or pick up anything needed. While it was a small gesture, it was so helpful and greatly appreciated.
