It is with heavy hearts that we announce the death of Michael Lee Saam, Sr.,  who suddenly and tragically passed away on the 2nd of October, 2023. Born on April 14, 1950, he lived a life full of wit, love, and selflessness that will not be forgotten.

Michael was an exemplary figure in every aspect of his life, praised for his witty personality and a spirit of selflessness that he maintained until his final days. His love for his grandchildren was immeasurable, and it was this love that defined his essence and created the indelible mark he leaves in our hearts.

Michael was a United States Navy Veteran and very active at the American Legion Post #38 in Ft Myers, Florida where he will be missed by many friends. He often volunteered his time at foodbanks or wherever he was needed several days a week.

Michael will be lovingly remembered by an extended family. He is survived by his bonus son, Zackary Mitchell, his grandchildren; Lillian Mitchell and Brady Mitchell. Additionally, his nieces – Jeannie Neil, Angela Grup, Jacqueline (Joseph) Coldsmith, Cheryl (Mike) Nadolny, and Jaime (Scott) Dewey - and nephews - Michael (Stephanie) Saam, Thomas Saam, Jr., Steven (Karen) Nadolny and a host of great-nieces and nephews. Michael is also survived by his sister-in-laws Barbara Saam and Yolanda Saam who thought of him as a brother. Michael's memory is also cherished by his former spouse and friend, Yvonna Saam, with whom he shared many years of his life.

Michael was reunited in death with his son, Michael Saam, Jr. and parents Richard Sr. and Agnes (Metz) Saam. He is also predeceased by his siblings; Richard Saam, Jr., Alfred Saam, Thomas Saam, Sr., and Carolyn Nadolny. The memory of his late nephews David Saam and Jeremy Saam and niece Laura Siebarth, will continue to be held dear in his memory.

Friends and family are all welcome to celebrate Michael's life at the American Legion Post #38, 1857 Jackson St, Ft Myers, FL 33901 on Sunday October 15 at 1pm.
