Mitchel Charles Hipler passed away suddenly on Dec. 29, 2024 at the age of 66. Mike, as most knew him, was born on June 2, 1958 in Germany to Helga and Richard Hipler. Mike lived a good portion of his life in Tomahawk. He graduated from Tomahawk High School in 1976 and furthered his education at Northland College-Ashland and University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Mike went on to become a pharmacist for his entire career. He was an outdoorsman, loved fishing the Jersey City Flowage and anywhere he lived, when he got the chance. Most recently Mike lived in Waunakee, Wis., with his son Joseph.
Mike was preceded in death by his mother and father, Helga and Richard, his paternal and maternal grandparents, and his youngest brother Allen.
Survivors include his son Joseph of Waunakee, Wis., his brother Don (Naomi), Tomahawk, his niece and nephew, Katie and Alex, his aunt Ingrid and three cousins, Tom, Mark and Michelle, along with many friends in the Northwoods area.
