Michael James Dingman “Mike”, age 64, of Hobart, Indiana unexpectedly passed away July 18, 2025. He was born to James Dingman and Jerilyn (nee Jenson) Bottenfield on March 19, 1961 in Gary, Indiana.

Mike will always be remembered as the man who loved coffee (never without a mug in hand), muscle cars, 80's hair bands (with the floor to ceiling speakers to listen to them on), playing video & computer games, dogs, giving "dad-advice", and playing ABC mouse and watching movies with his grandkids. His greatest legacy, and the thing that brought him the most joy, was his family and being Dad & Grandpa.

Mike will be greatly missed by his mother Jeri and father Jim; children: Danielle, Martin, Tristan, Amy, Faith, Dylan; grandchildren: Kayla, Xavier, Andrew, Greyson, Azrael, Mia, Sophie, Amara, Emeron, Aurelio, Leah; siblings: Doran, Steve, Andrew (AJ), and Lori; best friend Lisa; his nephews, nieces, and friends.

Mike was greeted in Heaven by his daughter Nichole and son Andrew.

A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, August 2 at the Big Maple Lake (7302 Ainsworth Rd., Hobart, IN 48342 - Shelter 1) from 12pm - 4pm where we will share memories, pictures, and a meal together.

Arrangements entrusted to Castle Hill Funeral Home of Dyer, Indiana.
