Michael O'Toole Obituary

Jul. 27, 1949 - Nov. 14, 2024 Bridgeport, Ill. - On Thursday, November 14, 2024, Michael Wayne O'Toole (75) passed way at IU Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis, IN. He was born on July 27, 1949, in Vincennes, IN to Joseph P. O'Toole and his wife Katherine C. (Petty) O'Toole.

He was a graduate of Central Catholic High School in Vincennes. Mike later married the love of his life, Marcia Brumley, on May 11, 1978. Together they raised their family and enjoyed making incredible memories until Marcia passed away on December 11, 2002. Mike continued to cherish time spent with his children and took so much joy in his grandchildren.

For 40 years, Mike did what he loved...served his customers. He was a new and used car salesman at Memering Motorplex in Vincennes, IN. Not only was his own family a priority in his life, but his "Memering' family was as well. His presence and personality will be sadly missed.

His living legacy includes: three daughters- Julia Lawrence, Angie Shelton and husband Kyle, and Janie Strange and husband Michael all of Lawrenceville; one son- Thomas O'Toole of Bridgeport; two sisters- JoEllen O'Toole and Kathleen Copp and husband Gary all of Vincennes; five grandchildren- Maggie Blackwell and husband Dillon, Mallory Holt and husband Nick, Matthew Lawrence, Scarlett Strange, and Lucy Strange; and one great-grandson- Benjamin Blackwell.

Those preceding him in death by: his parents- Joseph and Katherine O'Toole; his wife- Marcia O'Toole; one sister- Roseanne O'Toole; one brother- Kevin O'Toole.

There are no formal services. Cunningham Funeral Home of Bridgeport is assisting Mike's family during their time of loss.

I met Mike through memerings. We have been friends for 30 years. I was the pastor of first Baptist Vincennes but left in 2003. I did Mikes sweet wives funeral. My son had a car business so I brought 100´s of cars off Mike. I had prayer with him 2 days before his surgery. Even though I live now 7 hours from Vincennes Mike and I talked at least once a week. I have lost a dear friend but I´m sure he is in heaven because of his faith in Jesus. Prayers for all his family, he always talked and bragged about each one you .
