Todd Mickler

Todd Mickler, 49, of O’Fallon, IL, died at 2:35 p.m. on Friday, June 15, 2018 at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, MO. He was born December 27, 1968 in Robinson, IL, the son of Michael Mickler & Suzie (Wampler) Mickler. He grew up in the Lawrenceville area and graduated from Lawrenceville High School in 1987. He went on to Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, where he majored in Mortuary Science & Funeral Service. He went on to work in funeral service for a time before getting on as a manager at Sears. For the last ten years, he spent countless hours on the road as a truck driver. Away from work, he enjoyed spending time at home, but was also known to be coaxed out of the house by Eileen from time to time. He will be remembered as a loving and humorous man, but one who wasn’t afraid to say what was on his mind. He was proud of his family, especially his children and their numerous accomplishments. He married Eileen (Pierson) on September 6, 2016 and she survives. He is also survived by his daughter, Jessica Mickler (Rantoul, IL); two sons, Michael & Chiho Mickler (Rantoul, IL), and Matthew (Seattle, WA); by his new granddaughter, Emma Mickler (Rantoul, IL); by his father & step-mother, Michael & Karen Mickler (Flat Rock, IL); by his mother & step-father, Suzie & Don Wilson (IN); by his step-daughter, Autumn Hoalt (Robinson, IL); as well as several friends and extended family members. He was preceded in death by his son, Joshua Mickler, in infancy. A time of visitation will be held from 1:00-3:00 p.m. on Wednesday, June 20th at the Goodwine Funeral Home in Robinson. A graveside service will immediately follow and will be held at the Lawrenceville Cemetery. Ronnie Crawford will officiate the service.
