We have lost one of our finest — a beloved husband, father,
grandfather and friend. Michael Wayne Soderlund passed away at 77,
April 5, 2015.

Mike is survived by his wife Toni; sister, Joanne (Chuck) Jones; sons,
Kevin (Majja) Soderlund, Quinn (Sharlene) Mathews; and daughter-in-
law, Sherri Wallick. He had five wonderful grandchildren, Nikki and
Emma Mathews, Bronwyn Comeau, Samuel and Jordyn Gunderson, and many
nieces and nephews.

Mike, a friend to all and an enemy to none, had an uncanny ability to
find someone in a crowded room to talk sports, and then leave with a
lifetime friend. Mike was a sports fanatic and devout Seattle fan. He
loved his Seahawks, Mariners and University of Washington Huskies.

Mike often boasted he had the perfect life, “What else do I need? I
have a beautiful wife, a big screen TV and a Coors Light.” He dearly
loved his family and was relentless in his pursuit of their happiness.

Mike was born in Seattle to Mack and Mary Soderlund and was one of
three children. He joined the Army in 1957 and was honorably
discharged after serving in Korea in 1960. Mike remained in the
Seattle area until retiring to Lake Havasu in 2004, with his beautiful
wife of 33 years, where he found plenty of friends and great memories.

Mike is preceded in death by his parents, Mack and Mary; sister,
Marilyn; and son, Shawn Gunderson.

Services will be at 1 p.m, Wednesday, with a celebration of life
following at the Quality Inn.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in honor of Michael
Soderlund at Chase Bank, ACCT # 3026315134.

Services were placed in the care of Lietz-Fraze Funeral Home and
Crematory.

Thoughts and condolences may be sent to the Soderlund family at
