Michael Cahill Obituary (1967 – 2022) – Kettering, OH

Michael T. Cahill, age 55, of Oakwood, Ohio passed away Thursday, June 8, 2022. He was born June 6, 1967, in Dover, Delaware. Mike graduated from Oakwood high school in 1985 and received his B.S. in Business Management from Urbana University.
After serving in the US Marine Corps, Mike excelled in both real estate and retail sales management. Mike had the gift for gab and loved sales. Mike loved sports and was actively involved with youth sports throughout his life, having served as an assistant football coach at Dixie High School, Oakwood High School, as well as coaching youth basketball.
Mike was loved by many, adults, and children alike and will be remembered and missed by all. He was a funny, boisterous, and caring man and his loss will be felt by those who had the pleasure of knowing him.
He is survived by his son, John, parents Pat and Tom Cahill, and sister Diane Cahill, his long-term partner, Rhoda Aveyard and her two daughters, Jessica, and Danielle Aveyard as well as his four nephews Paul Pook III, Gabriel Pook, and Izziah and Simon Cahill.
Mike was preceded in death by his grandparents, Mary and Victor Heindl and Ida and John Cahill.
A celebration of Mike’s life will be held at a Mass of Christian Burial at St. Albert the Great Church in Kettering, Ohio on Monday, June 13 at 12noon. A visitation at the church will precede the mass at 11:00am.
He will be interred at Calvary Cemetery.
There are so many people to thank that we cannot possibly name them all. We do want to thank the many caring neighbors and friends of Mike who have more than stepped in to fill the gap that was left when Mike became ill just seven weeks ago. There have been meals provided, check-ins made, support for us with John, and support for Mike as he faced his short battle with cancer. We won’t ever know how to truly thank everyone, but we know that we would not have been able to stay as strong as we have without all of you. A good friend commented to us that Oakwood is a great place to be, in good times and in bad, and we cannot agree more.
One of the most recent gifts was the creation of an education fund for Mike’s son, John. Checks can be made payable to Shannon Powell c/o Cahill Fund at 525 Maysfield Road, Oakwood, Ohio, 45419.
