Michael J. Bickling, Jr.

Michael Joe Bickling Jr., 36, of Cheyenne WY, passed away on March 04, 2025.

He was born on April 29,1988, in Loveland, CO to Jamie (Sorensen) Montano and Mike Bickling, Sr.

Michael was the type of person who had the most contagious smile and sense of humor only those who knew him could appreciate. As a child he was an adventurous soul, very mischievous and full of life. Even as an adult, he loved to tease his sisters and brother and rile up his niece and nephew before bolting out the door. No matter what he did, he gave his all, whether it was life, school, or work. He Graduate from Loveland High School and earned his bachelor’s degree in accounting and was most recently employed by Zenith American Solutions. He loved to use his hands and make things, especially woodworking and forging with his little brother Samuel. He loved cooking, fishing, camping, and shooting. As a child he loved baseball (his father always said he had an eye/hand for it), football and roller hockey. He adored and loved his fur babies, Buddy and Cora as if they were his children.

He was taken far too soon, we’ll never know why and none of us will ever be the same. But because of that dash between the date of his birth and the date of his death, we will always cherish Michael’s legacy and the impact that he had on all our lives. He will be missed by so many. Until we meet again, our beloved Mikey Joe.
