Michael "Mick" Edward Redman

August 2, 1937 - March 14, 2021

Michael “Mick” Edward Redman, 83, of Mentor, passed away Sunday, March 14, 2021 at home. He was born August 2, 1937 to the late Henry and Mary Ann Redman. Mick was an avid hunter and fisherman. He loved hunting Ohio and Pennsylvania turkey and whitetail, and fishing Lake Erie and local rivers with his friends, children, and grandchildren. Spending time with his grandchildren gave him such joy, especially when he took them fishing. He loved teaching them how to fish and passing on his love for fishing. Mick served in the United States Airforce from Feb. 25, 1955 to Feb. 10, 1959. He was so proud to have served his country and made sure anytime he left the house he wore his Air Force hat. Mick loved to garden and took pride in growing a large garden at his home every year. Mick was a mechanic by trade and loved finding old stuff, fixing it, and making it usable again. Mick would find old bikes fix them up and give them to neighborhood kids. Since everything had value, nothing was thrown out but kept “just in case” he or maybe someone else might need it one day. Mick was always working on someone’s car, repairing a neighbor’s lawnmower, or fixing something for a friend; always willing to help whenever asked. Mick was very funny, always cracking a joke or saying something to make you laugh. Mick gave his life to Jesus in 2020, and his family finds great peace in knowing their loved one is in heaven experiencing life eternal with Jesus. Mick was a loving husband, dad, grampa, brother and friend! He will be missed greatly by all.
