Michael Robert Ahola

June 18, 1959 - May 8, 2020

On Friday, May 8, 2020, Michael Ahola, loving husband and father of three, passed away at the age of 60.

Mike was born on June 18, 1959 in Orr, Minnesota to Robert and Loretta (Beckers) Ahola. He served in the United States Army and was stationed in Honduras and Belgium. Afterwards, he worked as an electrical/communications engineer.

Mike had a passion for dogs and pet rescue. He and his wife often fostered and consistently failed to find them homes by adopting the animal themselves. Mike and his wife frequently traveled and enjoyed immersing himself in the history and culture of a region. Mike also loved World War II history, reading, hunting, and fishing.

Mike is survived by his wife Barbara, mother Loretta, father Robert, three children Michael, Patrick, and Katie, sister Wendy, brother Jon, two step-children Michael and Richard, two grandchildren Felix and Finley, a herd of dogs, and many friends. Mike’s wish was to be cremated and the family will hold a ceremony in Orr, Minnesota at date TBD.

In the place of flowers or personal donations, the family requests donations be made to Dallas DogRRR (https://www.dallasdogrrr.org/donate) in his honor.

Ahola family my thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. Mike was my co-worker, and then my friend. I remember when he met Barbara, he would light up when he would talk about her..... and his kids he was so proud of them, I think he got taller with pride. My old friend I will miss you.
