He is survived by his loving wife of 39 years, Kimberly Sue (Colwell) Schmidlin, whom he married May 25, 1981; four children, Brooks (Kira) Schmidlin of Hopewell, Anthony (Ashley) Schmidlin of Newark, Ciera Schmidlin of Granville and Amy Schmidlin of Texas; grandchildren, Brooklyn Schmidlin, Audrey Boeshart, Myca, Kaylie and Kennedy Schmidlin, Laykin and Sophia Curry, and Legend and Macie Schmidlin; siblings, Terry (Marty) Gough of Thornville, Linda Schmidlin of Columbus, Mark Schmidlin of Reynoldsburg and Lynne Hoffman of Ashville; and many nieces and nephews.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by two brothers, Butch and David Schmidlin; and a sister, Karen Schmidlin.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Special Olympics.

The family will have a celebration of Mike's life at a later date which will be announced.
