In loving memory of
Micheal Dittmer
August 7, 2010
Micheal Dittmer, age 61, of Live Oak, Florida left this earth to be with his Lord and Savior, on Saturday, August 7, 2010 while traveling in Lancaster, PA.
Micheal (Mike) was born on March 28, 1949 in Knoxville, Iowa. His parents are the late Robert Dittmer and his vibrant 95 year old mother, Margaret Dittmer. Mike grew up on the family farm in Lacona and graduated from Southeast Warren High school in 1967. He always had a passion for people and nutrition and dedicated much of his life to this service. He didn't know a stranger and had an infectious smile that captivated the hearts of everyone to which he came into contact. He was generous to all, loved unconditionally and desired health and wellness for everyone he met. The only thing that equaled his love for his family and the pursuit of wellness was his love for Jesus and his desire to please God in all he did.

"My sincere condolences to all of Mike's family and friends. I knew Mike through some of the work Mike did in living a healthier life. To him or the ones he shared this with, it was never work but a joy to share. None of us know when Our Lord will call us home. But trusting Our Lord, Mike left us all with so very much. Now it our duty to share with others as Mike shared with us. My first visit with Mikr, I asked "how can you tell?" Mike said, "You will know." Mike had great insite and shared that insite with all that would listen. He will live on through us all in just that way. May you have peace knowing how very many lives he touched and shared his knowledge."
