Obituary
Michael "Mike" Anthony Milican, born on December 16, 1957, in Detroit, Michigan, passed away on February 14, 2026, in Dearborn, Michigan, at the age of 68.
Throughout his life, Mike followed Christ with unwavering faith and lived his life as a humble fisherman, both of the sea and the souls. Whether casting his line into a river, lake or preparing his catch in the kitchen, he found joy and solace in the simple pleasures of life. His affection for fishing was so profound that he even took his fishing pole along on his honeymoon, a testament to his unwavering dedication to the sport he cherished.
For over 30 years, Mike devoted himself to children's ministry, touching countless lives with his warmth and compassion. He embraced many as part of his extended family through his ministry, providing guidance and love to numerous adopted children and grandchildren.
Mike was preceded in death by his beloved parents, Albert Milican and Beverly Davie, and his brother, David Milican. He is remembered with love by his devoted wife of 36 years, Mary Kathryn "Kathy" Milican. He also leaves behind his cherished children, Tammy (Tom) Strong and Jerome Shorkey; seven grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren who were the light of his life.
He is survived by his sister, Alice (Kenny) Setser, and brothers Rodney Milican, James (Karen) Milican, Kevin (Jim) Milican and numerous nieces and nephews, who all held a special place in his heart.
Mike's legacy is one of love, laughter, and an unyielding enthusiasm for the things he held dear. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him, but his spirit will live on in the memories of those fortunate enough to have shared in his journey.
