Michael E. Pringle, 72, of Midland passed away unexpectedly on October 4, 2024, in the emergency room of Heritage Valley, Beaver. He was born in Buchannon, West Virginia and raised in Center Township. Michael was a son of the late Darrell and Glendoline Pringle. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by two brothers, Darrell ‘Butch’ and Daniel “Buddy” Pringle. He is survived by his devoted wife of 21 years, Deborah A. Gaughenbaugh Pringle, who stood by him through life’s many journeys. He is also survived by his son, Michael E. Jr., daughter-in-law Tuyen, and his cherished granddaughter, Bilyanna, who brought immense joy to his life, siblings, Chuck Pringle (late Jane), Randy (Maureen) Pringle, and Darlene Iser, sister-in-law, Karen Gaughenbaugh, friend Randy Colaber, and numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephews.

Professionally, Michael was employed at Kaufmann’s Department Store at Beaver Valley Mall, where he retired as a manager. Michael was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. An outdoorsman, Michael found peace in nature while hunting and fishing and was a former member of the Midland Sportsman’s Club. Michael’s love for the outdoors was only surpassed by his passion for cooking and baking. Known as a jack of all trades, he was often the first person his friends and family turned to when in need. His willingness to help others was a testament to his selfless nature and the love he had for those around him.

The family would like to acknowledge Sgt. Little of the Midland Police Department and the nurses and doctors at Heritage Valley, Beaver who last cared for him.

All services will be private. Arrangements have been entrusted to Simpson Funeral and Cremation Services.
