Michael John Hassler, born on the 14th of October, 1952, passed away peacefully in his home on the 23rd of March, 2026. Born to John and Wanda Hassler, who preceded him in death; Mike spent a fulfilling 73 years of life filled with love, laughter, and sincerity.

A sports enthusiast, Mike spent much of his free time watching any and all sports.  He also had a love for nature and the calm. He spent his leisure time golfing, feeding birds, and meditating over puzzles. These hobbies allowed him to appreciate the quiet and the peace that life offers.

Mike taught us that life doesn't have to be complicated to be meaningful - that kindness, patience, and a good sense of humor can carry you through even the hardest days. He showed us to slow down and appreciate the small things in life, to care deeply for others, and to meet life with a steady, laid-back spirit. Even in difficult times, he reminded us to stay positive, to find something to smile about, and to never lose our sense of humor.

Mike was a loving husband to his wife, Leanne Wayne. His life is celebrated by a large family, which includes his brothers Terry (Tanya) Hassler, Tim (Deani) Hassler, Larry (Rose) Hassler, Bill Hassler; his sisters Jane (Don) Dwyer, Mary (Don) Kunz, Missy (John) Sandstrom and Becky Doane; his step-children Sean (Kassi) Wayne, Steph Cardenas, and other aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

A Celebration of Life for Mike will be held on May 16, 2026, at 3:00 PM at Flaherty's Arden Bowl, in Arden Hills, MN. His burial is scheduled for May 19, 2026, at 1:30 PM at Fort Snelling. These moments of commemoration will not only pay tribute to Mike's life but also provide an opportunity for loved ones to come together, reminiscing about the times shared with him. 

Mike's warmth, laughter, and love for life will be deeply missed by all who knew him. His legacy will be carried forward in the hearts and minds of his family and friends. May he soar with the birds he loved so much.
