Michael Eugene Oetting, 73, of Fort Wayne passed away Monday, March 28, 2022, after a long hard-fought battle with Lewy Body Dementia. He went on to heaven from his home he loved surrounded by his family. A lifetime area resident, he was born to the late Eugene and Corinne (nee Kintz) Oetting on December 23,1948. One of Mike's greatest achievements was being the proud owner of Indigo Printing & Graphics for 30 years. He was a simple man, a man with a heart of gold, so stubborn but yet so kind. Michael's love was his business, his wife and his family. He was a Catholic man, a strong believer in faith. Michael loved ND football and the Chicago Cubs. He loved the Holidays, a true giver with the biggest heart and one of the nicest people you could meet. "We were the lucky ones, and we will miss him dearly as life will never be the same without him, but we have peace that he is in the loving arms of God without any more pain or suffering. He put up a good fight for this disease he was so afraid of, but he fought hard to the very end, just the type of man he was. Farewell, until we meet again." He left behind the love of his life of 52 years, Linda Marie (nee Taggart) Oetting, a true love story. He is also survived by his two daughters, Roxanne Oetting of Fort Wayne and Shanda (Robert) Egierski of Granger, IN; 6 grandchildren, Brianna (Nick) Potts, Miranda, Savanna (Alex Straessle), Jaydon Egierski, Tyler Egierski & Nic Egierski; brothers, Pat (Diane) Oetting, Dave (Joy) Oetting, and Steve (Kim) Oetting; and sisters, Martha (Steve) Irwin, Marita (Ron) Lauer, Roberta Firestine and Paula (Jeff) Leitch.
