Mike was born in St. Joseph, MN to Ted and Adeline (Merkling) Merten. He married Yvonne Bohnen on June 18, 1955 in St. Boniface Church, Cold Spring, MN. Mike was a veteran of the Korean War. He retired from the Cold Spring Granite Company after over 40 years of employment. He enjoyed fishing and tinkering in his workshop. The projects and gifts that came out of his workshop, truly came from the heart and in turn give true meaning to the words ìfamily treasure.î He will be greatly missed. Mike was a member of Sts. Peter & Paul Parish.
Survivors include his wife, Yvonne; children, Chuck (Debbie) of Richmond, Michelle (Bob) Meyer of Paynesville, Cindy (Tim) Peters of Clear Lake, Tina (Bob) Kohnen of Roscoe, Cheri (Mike) Pitschka of Richmond and Tim (Emily) of Cold Spring; 10 grandchildren, Aaron, Jen, Mandy, Shane, Ashley, Sarena, Sierra, Blake, Spencer and Austin.
