Obituary of Michael Henry Wiegenstein

Michael Henry Wiegenstein, 76, of Melbourne, FL, passed away at his residence on Sunday, February 3, 2019 surrounded by loving family. He was born in Pensacola, Florida on September 26, 1942 to Henry G. Wiegenstein and Majorie Burgess Mills, both of whom preceded him in death. Michael served in the United States Navy as a Submariner. Mike and his lovely wife, Carol, owned and managed the sports bar “Penny-Annie’s” for several years. Mike retired from maintenance work and enjoyed his time with family. Mike was a joy to all with a quick wit, infectious laugh and when he smiled his eyes twinkled. Mike and Carol both adored and found great love in the raising of their grand children, Michelle and Lawrence Welch. Michael was a kind, compassionate and loving man that was deeply loved and will be greatly missed. Mike was also preceded in death by his stepson David Welch of Melbourne, Florida. Survivors include his sister, Tina Wiegenstein Scarborough and brother-in-law Mike of Ocala, Florida; sister, Amy Wiegenstein and sister-in-law Cindy of Valdosta, Georgia; brother, David Wiegenstein of Carson City, Nevada; sister, Judi Mills of Hinesville, Georgia; stepson, Michael Welch of Fall River, Massachusetts and many loving cousins, nieces and nephews. There will be no public memorial or graveside service, per Michael’s wishes. Instead of flowers, donations to Planned Parenthood would be appreciated.
