Michael Aslin

----

TRAVERSE CITY — Michael Wayne Aslin, 52, of Traverse City, passed away on Monday, July 16, 2012, at his home. He was born in Flint on Jan. 7, 1960, to David and Joan (Fuller) Aslin, of Clio.

Michael was a 1978 graduate of Clio High School and attended Northwestern Michigan College, of Traverse City.

Michael's love of automobiles led him into a car salesman career for several dealerships in Michigan. He also had his own car broker business and worked with area dealerships. Michael was recently employed with Stromberg Carlson Products, Inc. of Traverse City.

Michael's people skills were extraordinary and it seemed like he never met a person with whom he couldn't connect through sports, trivia, nature, music or cars. He loved God, his family and friends and will be dearly missed by us all.

Michael is survived by his father, David Aslin, of Traverse City; sisters, Lynda (Patrick) Frusti, of Traverse City, Bonnie Tardivi, of Henderson, Nev., and Janice Aslin, of Traverse City; his brother, Richard Aslin, of Santa Rosa, Calif.; and his Aunt Ilena, of Cape Girardeau, Mo. He is mourned by his extended family, which includes six nephews, three nieces, two great-nephews and seven great-nieces.

Michael was preceded in death by his beloved mother, Joan (Fuller) Aslin.

Funeral services will be held on Friday, July 27, at 11 a.m., at St. Michael's Lutheran Church, 912 S. Garfield Ave., in Traverse City. Visitation will be from 6 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, July 26, at St. Michael's Lutheran Church, and again at 10 a.m. on Friday, July 27. A private family committal service will be held at Grand Traverse Memorial Gardens.

Memorial contributions may be directed to the Goodwill Inn of Traverse City in lieu of flowers.

The family is being served by The Reynolds-Jonkhoff Funeral Home and Cremation Services.
