Michael W.E. Vessels, 46, passed away on August 17, 2021, at his home in Lafayette, IN. Michael was born November 15, 1974, in Lafayette, IN to Bernard W. D. Vessels and the late, Nancy Gregory. After completing his education, Michael worked for several years in cleaning and stocking for a local business.  Michael was known for being a generous person, who was very set in his ways but cared about everybody. He had many joys in life, including going to the Clubhouse, crafting projects; such as building bird houses and many pieces for friends and family, chewing his tobacco, and watching the Chicago Cubs, Nascar, and wrestling events that he waited for every year. He was highly intelligent and quick with numbers, but throughout his life he found his greatest joy was the time he spent with family and friends, who will all miss him very much.

Michael is survived by his father, Bernard W.D. (Sandra) Vessels; sister, Christina Cannon; sister, Michelle (Jonathan) Kerkhoff; brother, Dustin (Jenny) Vessels; as well as several nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews

In addition to his mother, he was preceded in death by his step-father, Bill Jordan.
