Michael Lynn Truesdell passed away peacefully at his home in Mesa, AZ on January 1, 2023.

Mike had been fighting a short and tough battle with small cell lung cancer, and an unrelated bladder cancer since September 2022. He completed his first round of chemotherapy on 12/23, and spent a beautiful Christmas Day at home with family.

Mike was born in Greeley, CO on October 10, 1953. He was preceded in death by his father, F.L. "Jake" Truesdell; mother and step-father, JoAnn and Robert Lebsack; and brother, Ronald Truesdell.

Mike is survived by his loving wife of 39 years, Judi Truesdell; their 4 beautiful daughters- Stacy (Derek) Walsh, Jessie (Will) Cooper, Katy (Abel) Garcia, & Lindsay (TJ) Alaniz; 10 adoring grandchildren- Kyler, Parker, Bella, Brenna, Charley, Chloe, Julian, Jude, Wyatt, Ollie; Brother, Buddy (Gretchen) Truesdell; Sister, Linda (Donald) Swencki; Sister in-law, Linda Thomas; Brother & sister in-law, Stuart & Nan Thomas; many nieces & nephews, extended family members, and countless friends.

Mike was a loyal friend who never met a stranger. An  avid athlete and sports enthusiast who excelled in any sport he participated in. He was often found on a barstool, telling stories, surrounded by family and friends. Mike was a dedicated service manager at Chandler West Auto Repair for 20+ years, where he developed many lasting relationships. Growing up in Colorado led to a love of time spent in the mountains-  fishing, hunting, and camping. Nothing brought Mike more joy than spending quality time with his family, friends, and furry ones alike.

He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
