Michael "Party" Partee passed away peacefully on March 21, 2025, in his beloved hometown of Chicago, Illinois. Born on June 1, 1953, Michael was the son of Ralph and Linda Partee.

Michael was a loving husband to his wife of 35 years, Michelle, whom he married in 1985. Together, they raised three wonderful children: Eric, Marvin, and Ryan. Eric is happily married to Amber, Marvin to Matilda, and Ryan to Joshua.

Michael was a proud grandfather to 10 grandchildren, who brought him endless joy and laughter. He had a special relationship with his granddaughter Isabella and grandson Jayden.

Throughout his career, Michael worked at Ford and retired in 2019. He was known for his hard work, dedication, and sense of humor.

In his free time, Michael enjoyed his favorite hobby of fishing. He loved spending peaceful days out on the water, surrounded by nature and the tranquility it brought him. He was the life of the party. Every room he walked into he could brighten up with just his smile.

Michael will be dearly missed by his family and friends, but they take comfort in knowing that he is now at peace, fishing in the great beyond.

There will be a private celebration of life April 26, 2025 at his son Marvin's house in Chicago, Illinois. We welcome all family and friends to come and grieve the unexpected and tragic loss of Michael.
