Michael E. Hiet, Jr., 40

Michael E. Hiet Jr.,, of Monaca PA, formerly of Youngstown, passed away and went to be with the Lord on Thursday afternoon, July 23, 2020, after a brief illness at Allegheny General Hospital, Pittsburgh, surrounded by his family.

Michael, known to family and friends as “Mike,” was born on October 5, 1979, in Youngstown, to his parents, Kathy (Daniel) Whalen of Enon Valley, PA and Michael (Roxenna) Hiet, Sr., of Canfield, OH.

He graduated in 1998 from Springfield High School and then in 2002 from Youngstown State University with a degree in Computer Information Systems.  Mike used his knowledge from his degree to work as a self-employed computer programmer and web designer.

Mike had a love for sports, not limited to the basketball and baseball he played while in high school, but also fishing, flying drones, billiards, and archery, where he competed in many state tournaments.

In addition to his parents and stepparents, Mike is survived by his twin daughter and son,  Eva and Jacob, whom he adored so much. He is also survived by his girlfriend, Sarah Baker of Monaca, PA; stepbrother, Lee Endres of Lisbon, OH;  paternal grandmother, Sandra Curl of Mansfield, TX; five aunts, Donna (Gene), Sue (Greg), Barbara, Mary, and Patty; many cousins, including Jonathan Butterly; and several close friends that were like family to him.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Robert and Barbara Guilkey and Clark Hiet.

There will be a celebration of Mike’s life led by his Pastor, John Westurn of Pathway Church, with family and friends at a later date. There will be no calling hours.

The family requests, in lieu of flowers, that any tributes be made in the form of contributions to the Adult & Teen Challenge Ohio Valley, 1319 Florencedale Avenue, Youngstown, OH 44505 in Michael’s honor.

Michael, you are and will forever be dearly loved and missed by so many people. Your laughter and spirit will never be forgotten.
