Michael Dean Stehle

Michael Dean Stehle,32, has been called home by his Lord and Savior on June 5, 2026. He was born on September 11, 1993, in Corpus Christi, Texas, to Claude Stehle and Pam K. Bryant Stehle.

Michael was a 2012 graduate of Orange Grove High School, where he was a member of the High School marching band, FFA, football and basketball team, and a proud member of the Boy Scouts Troop 32, which was a huge part of his young life. His troop leaders and lifelong friends were Gary Graham (fishing buddy), Terry Sanders, and Earl Koenning. He went on to graduate
from John Deere Tech School in Corsicana, Texas, in 2014. The Agriculture Industry and becoming a combine mechanic were a huge part of his life. He was employed by BFE (Bishop
Farm Equipment) but was sought out by many companies across the country for his extensive knowledge of tractor care and maintenance.

Michael enjoyed spending time outdoors hunting, fishing, and attending cow shows, where his love of agriculture grew. His children were his pride and joy. Michael loved to sing and play his guitar, or join them to play video games, sharing stories of their “Papa Claude” or simply just teaching valuable ranch life lessons. Michael’s fondest memory was bringing “Big Mama” home to live out her final days in the pasture. This led to his love for cattle ranching and the start of Stehle Cattle Company.

Michael was known for his warm heart, quick wit, and deep devotion to his family and friends. He never met a stranger and was always willing to lend a helping hand; he was someone you
could rely on. He was dearly loved and will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.

He was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Mike L. and Lorene Stehle, and sister, Sandie Kay McCurdy.

He is survived by his loving wife, Jamie Stehle; parents, Claude and Pam Stehle; children, Madison, Hunter, and Katie Stehle, Tyler Swinyer and Tanner Carrizales; sister, Zada Bates
(Michael); uncle, Howard Stehle (Liz); aunt, Wanda Prochazka (Dale); cousin, Shane Michael Stehle; nephews and nieces; Garrett Bates (Isabella), Logan Bates, Carson Bates, Elizabeth
Bates, Alex McCurdy (Bailey), Matthew McCurdy, Sarah Doiron (Carson) and Evelyn McCurdy; brother-in-law, Timothy McCurdy; and numerous dear friends.
