Michael (Rick) Annau, 67, passed away on May 17, 2026.

Among the things important to him, he valued family above all else. Quietly and without saying a word he supported, guided and assisted where he could. He loved fixing and creating things, using his creative  problem-solving skills to help others, and working on his old car.   He loved enjoying the simple pleasures of life and sharing them with the people he loved. Often, by sharing an occasional sweet treat such as ice cream or by sharing in a little mischievousness by sharing a good joke or small prank. He had a knack for making others feel good around him. His silent strength hid the pain he endured for so many years.   

He is missed by his wife, Susan, his children Jennifer (Kirk), Shelly (Neil), Richard (Janice), his 7 grandchildren and 1 great-granddaughter. 

A private gathering will be held at a later date.  Instead of flowers, the family requests donations to the charity of one's choice.
