Michael Ray Cachelin, 41, passed away in Green River, Wyoming on August 18, 2015. A visitation will be held from 10:00 a.m. - 10:45 a.m. on Wednesday, August 26, 2015, at the Chapel of Mount Hope, Hudson's Funeral Home in Lander, Wyoming. Funeral Services will be 11:00 a.m., Wednesday, August 26, 2015 at the same location. Burial will follow at Mount Hope Cemetery, Lander.
Michael was born on August 24, 1973 to Marven Eugene Cachelin and Pauline Beatrice Lopez Cachelin in Lander, Wyoming. His brother, Thomas, was born on July 18, 1977.
During his childhood, the family traveled around some due to Marven's work in the oil fields. Michael had healthy interests and did well in school, but was relatively quiet and kept to himself, more so as he got older. In all his activities it was evident that he was happiest when he was outdoors, fishing or hunting. He had an infectious sense of humor, and was always willing to share his knowledge with those he loved.
In 1994, he married Tina Louise Hendrickson in Broken Bow, Nebraska; and on February 2, 1997, their daughter Megan Elizabeth was born.
Michael attended the University of Nebraska where he was in the Navy ROTC for 3 years. He studied Wildlife Biology and received his Bachelors of Science in Molecular Ecology on December 21, 1996.
Michael is survived by his daughter, Megan Elizabeth Cachelin; brother, Thomas (Janelle Dunmire) Cachelin; and nephews, Carson and Benjamin; niece, Madelyn; grandmother, Bernetta Goodrich; and numerous uncles, aunts, and cousins.
Michael was preceded in death by his father Marven and mother Pauline.
We will always love you Michael, and you will never be forgotten.
