Alan Joseph Mike 1980-2022

Alan will always be remembered for his smile, generosity, contagious laugh and positive attitude, always making the best out of life.

He was born Aug. 17, 1980, in Youngstown, the son of Alan and Charmaine Mike, and was a lifelong area resident.

Alan always excelled in his academics and graduated with honors from Boardman High School in 1999. After high school, he attended The University of Toledo to begin his education with the goal of practicing medicine. While in college, he was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 19. Throughout his schooling he had many setbacks due to his illness, but he was determined to succeed and accomplish his goals. He never gave up and received his bachelor’s degree in science from Youngstown State University and continued his education to receive his doctorate in pharmacy from Lake Erie School of Medicine.

Alan was employed for many years as a pharmacist until his illness prevented him from continuing on.

He was a lifelong member of St. Maron Maronite Church.

Alan had many passions throughout this life. He enjoyed golfing and was an avid car enthusiast and sports fan.
