- **Event Description**: Michael Thomas Finney was born on March 28th, 1952 and peacefully passed away on November 25th, 2025.  He was 73 years old. Mike was born in Seattle, Washington and was the son of Thomas and Gladys Finney. He grew up in the Wallingford neighborhood of Seattle and attended Lincoln High School. Mike enlisted into the U.S. Army in 1971 and was assigned to the 82nd Airborne Division in Fort Bragg, NC.  He was honorably discharged in 1974. 

 In 1975 he met his future wife Becky Croffut and after two years together they were married on April 8th, 1977.  Mike and Becky were married for 48 1/2 years. In 1979 they welcomed their first daughter Leah, followed by Rachel, Elizabeth, Tessa and Meghan. 

The Finney house was always a favorite hangout for friends and neighbors.  It was loud, never boring, at times emotional and always filled with love. There was never a dull moment raising five daughters. Mikes favorite saying was “instead of PMS at my house, it was MMS, Mike Must Suffer.”

Mike worked at Boeing for 30 years, during that time he made some lifelong friends. He retired in 2015 and he and Becky moved to Mike’s favorite place on earth, Sandpoint, Idaho. Mike loved boating on Lake Pend Oreille and spending time with friends and family, always encouraging others to “make a memory.”

Mike is survived by his loving wife and best friend Becky, daughters Leah (Barry) Torgesen, Rachel (Matt) Johnson, Elizabeth (Rory) Fretland, Tessa (Travis) Shearer and Meghan (Devon) Hicks. Mikes brother Gene (Mary) Finney and sister Patricia ( Bill) Vermilye, his adoring 17 grandchildren and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.  Mike was predeceased by his parents Thomas and Gladys Finney, his sister Jackie Putney and his son in law Ryan Elsea. Mikes memory and legacy will live on in those that knew and loved him.

There will be a celebration of life for Mike on January 31st, 2026 at 2:00pm at Lake Country Baptist Church, 8830 8th St SE, Lake Stevens, WA.
