Michael John

Hammill

Michael John Hammill, age 76, of Wichita Falls, TX, went to be with the Lord on August 24, 2024.

Mike was born on September 4, 1947, to John and Patricia Hammill in Edina, MN. He attended Minnesota State University, Mankato, where he was an active member of the TKE fraternity. Mike went on to marry Kathleen Hammill Kath in 1978. They had two children, Erin Hammill and John Hammill.
Mike had a passion for hunting and yellow labs. He spent many years in the field, hunting with his beloved labs. He was a devout Catholic, a stubborn Irishman, and tough as nails. He loved his family and friends fiercely. He also loved the Vikings and discussing politics; he was always ready for a good debate (and always right!).

We are forever grateful that Dad got to spend two incredible weeks in Alaska visiting John, Melissa, and Andrew, right before he passed. Together, they created lasting memories and Andrew will fondly remember Bupa.

He is preceded in death by his father, John Delbert Hammill, and his mother, Patricia Hammill Hendricks. Stepfather, Charlie Hendricks, and all those he deeply loved who have gone before him, including his many special yellow labs. Most recently, Ella.

He is survived by his daughter, Erin Hammill, of Edina, MN; son, John (Melissa) Hammill of Eagle River, Alaska; Kathleen Kath of Minnetonka, MN, and the love of his life, his grandson Andrew Hammill of Alaska. He is also survived by sisters Peggy Zimmer Pomije, Jane (Wayne) Golembeck, MaryBeth (Jim) Buckman, and many loving friends.

Memorials can be made to The Salvation Army or The Animal Humane Society.

Visitation will be at 10:30 am before the service at Pax Christi Catholic Church in Eden Prairie, MN.  Funeral service will be held on October 10, 2024 at 11:00am.
