Michael was born September 14, 1949, in Flint, Michigan to the late Keith George and Beatrice May (Wooduff) Vorheis. He was a long-time member of Lighthouse Family Church and always put his family and faith first. Michael was always ready to lend a hand to anyone in need and could fix anything from car engines to air-conditioners and washing machines.

He loved fishing, trips with family to Crossroads Village where he’d ride Train 464, and challenging others to race him in his wheelchair. He also appreciated a good meal, and a trip to the buffet wasn’t complete without hearing him announce “ding dong, round 2…!”. Michael was a loving and kind man who cherished time spent with his family and especially enjoyed the moments he shared with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Acts 2:38- “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”

Michael is survived by his wife Patty (Troller) Vorhies; children Michael (Jessica) Vorhies, Erin (John) Portis, Amanda (Tom) Durant, Tabatha Lewis, Donny Lewis, and Christina (Mike) Lamb; grandchildren Erika (Corey) Scoggins, Boston Vorhies, Johnny Vorhies, Paige Medrano, Paisley Medrano, Peyton Cypher, Mekayla Durant, and Adriana Durant; great-grandchildren Oakley Scoggins, and Ivory Scoggins; and brother Dennis (Thim) Vorhies.

He is preceded in death by his parents, and siblings.
