Michael Shawn Ditmars, 59, of Crestline passed away on February 13, 2025, at Good Shepard Nursing Home in Ashland.
Mike was born on September 24, 1965, in Crestline to the late Ronald and Crystal (Duffner) Ditmars.
Michael had a passion for life that was infectious. He loved all types of music but had a particular soft spot for Elvis-his love for the King was legendary, and you could often find him singing along to the classics. An avid creator, Mike expressed himself beautifully through poetry and drawing. He had a knack for making people laugh, always ready with a joke or a funny story. Mike's laughter was contagious, and he had a unique ability to find joy in the simplest of moments.
He is survived by his life partner of 38 years, Bev Saladino; his children; Crissy Ditmars, Autumn Ditmars, and Charlie Ditmars; his sister, Kelly Treadway and brother-in-law and best bud, Tom Treadway; and his granddaughter, Nevaeh Conley.
In addition to his parents, Mike was preceded in death by his sister, Lisa Ditmars.
