Walter “Mike” Sulwer
Walter Michael (Mike) Sulwer, 75, of St Louis, MO, passed away on October 17, 2021 at Mercy Hospital in St. Louis with his daughter by his side, and surrounded by others that shared his life.
Mike was born December 13, 1945 in Decatur, IL to Dorothy L. and George F. Sulwer.
He was co-owner of M & S trucking in St. Louis for several years, later working at Four Brothers Furniture Sales. His last few years were spent as a handyman helping friends, family and neighbors remodel and repair. Mike belonged to the Elk’s Club and enjoyed hunting and fishing.
Mike was preceded in death by his parents; brothers: George (Sonny) Sulwer Jr, and Joe Sulwer; and sisters: Helen Sulwer, Betty Conour, Dottie Van Horn and Cindy Plum.
He is survived by his daughter Michelle (Jim) Buechel; grandson Connor Buechel; sister Mary Ann (Ed) Lutes; brother Louis (Carol) Sulwer; and 11 nieces and nephews.
Keith and I are so sorry about Mike’s passing. He was quite a guy. We know Michelle and her family was really close to him. Mike was a hard worker and was very good at projects. He could fix about anything. He will be missed by all.

We met Mike about 20 years ago when he did the first of many projects on our home. He became a good friend who would come by to drop off tomatoes and corn he had grown or to just visit with his dog Chloe, who herself liked to visit with our cats. He would say he could only stay for a few minutes, but he would talk and talk and would end up not leaving until over an hour later.
He was a fine worker and pretty much remodeled our whole home over the years. You couldn’t have delicate ears while he was doing a project as he would curse and rant and curse some more, but that was because he always wanted the job to turn out perfectly, which it always did.
We will truly miss Mike, as will everyone who knew him, but he is now probably raising heck up in heaven and happy to be back with Chloe and all of the other people he cared about who got there before him.
God Bless You Mike! You will be missed, but never forgotten.
Love Bonnie, Jim, Andrew, Michael, and Patrick Branca
OMG Mike. Not you you had so much yet to live for. Have known him since the 1970’s when he delivered for the candy Co. I worked for. Once you meet you are forever a friend. RIP dearest friend.
You will forever be missed.
