Michael "Mike" John Trudell

Michael J. “Mike” Trudell, 61, of Johnson Creek passed away on Monday, December 2, 2024.

Mike was born on May 31, 1963 in Milwaukee to Richard and Shirley (Vander Hyden) Trudell. He grew up in New Berlin and went to Holy Apostles Catholic grade school and graduated from New Berlin Eisenhower.  On August 2, 2002 Mike married the love of his life, Laura Schroeder in Las Vegas, Nevada. He was a Sr New Home Sales Consultant for Loos Homes for about the last 20 years.  He always called himself a problem solver not a salesman.  Mike has always had an entrepreneurial spirit, in the 90s he started Silver Eagle with his partner which later became Scan Communications. 

He enjoyed hunting, fishing, and being up north.  He also had a great love of the Packers, but above all else being with his family and friends was important to him.  He is remembered by many for his sense of humor and always seemed to lighten up a room when he walked in.

Mike is survived by his wife, Laura Trudell; children Ben Trudell, Grace Trudell, Marina Trudell, Kristin (Jon) Patton, April (Matt) Trudell; grandchildren, Charlotte Patton and Sophia Patton; siblings, Lori (Mark) Falk, Jen (Chris) Carter, Brian Trudell, Rick (Vicki) Trudell; and many nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews.

He is preceded in death by his father, Richard Trudell; and mother-in-law, Sharon Schroeder, along with other loved ones.
