Michael E. Deckys, age 57, passed away peacefully on March 14, 2026.
Michael was the loving and proud father of Gabriella and Andrew. He was the cherished son of Janet and the late Alfred Deckys. He was the loving brother of David (Guoying) Deckys and Kathryn (John) Hillebrand, and the proud uncle of Alexandra, John, and Sophia. Michael was the beloved, once-in-a-lifetime partner of Joyce Foiles.
A graduate of Indiana University, Michael built a successful career in sales while nurturing a lifelong passion for technology and creativity. He enjoyed computer programming and built video games from scratch. He also loved designing home theater systems, bike riding, and watching movies. With a curious mind, he took great pleasure in learning how things worked and constructing them himself.
Michael will be remembered for his deep love of family, his creativity, his resilience, and the many cherished memories he created with those he loved most. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who knew and loved him.
