Michael Eslinger
August 17, 1951 — March 31, 2017
Michael Glenn Eslinger passed away unexpectedly on Friday, March 31st, 2017 in Kansas City, MO at the age of 65. A lifelong resident of Kansas City, he was born on August 17th, 1951 and graduated from Westport High School.
Michael was a special man – a jack of all trades and a master of quite a few. His hobbies & interests were many; from collecting coins, attending concerts or car racing – there was always a good time or a great conversation to be had in his company. Michael’s family and friends were his greatest treasure and one that he kept close to his heart; whether through a hearty laugh, a winning hand on Poker night, or a genuine smile and helping hand for friends & family alike on moving day.
Taken far too soon from all who loved him, Michael was a loving husband, father, son, brother, grandfather, uncle and friend to those blessed enough to have had him in their lives.
Michael is survived by his wife Lisa, children; Amber & Mark Porter-Schumann, Kyle & Sarah Eslinger, Joy Eslinger, and Jason & Angela Eslinger, Angela & Braden LeMaster and his nine grandchildren; Aaron, Tanner, Trey, Julian, Taya, Tryston, Katlyn, Gavin and Annabella. His mother Carlene Gillespie, his five sisters; Sharon & Steve Miller, Gail Fisher, Peggy & David Smiley, Rhonda & Joe Osborn, Jenny & Dan King, Mother-in-Law Clara Smith, Linda Ozar, Lyla & Joe Harris, Lloyd & Karie Smith. Numerous aunts & uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and countless numbers of friends.
He is preceded in death by the man he loved and called father Lloyd E. Smith Sr.
The celebration of life service is scheduled for Tuesday, April 4th, 2017 at 5 PM with a gathering of friends from 3-5 PM at Terrace Park (Mt. Moriah) at 801 NW 108th Street, KCMO 64155. The celebration will continue after wards at Michael and Lisa Eslinger's home at 607 NE Cookingham Rd, Kansas City, MO 64155.
