Ionia Sentinel Standard, 20 Aug 2015

Lyle Paul Hummel, age 87, of Ionia, went to be with his Lord on Aug. 17, 2015. 
Lyle was born June 30, 1928, at home in Sunfield the son of Guy and Beatrice
(Frey) Hummel.  Lyle was raised on their farm until the age 17.  He then moved
to Portland, Michigan, to work and there he found the love of his life, Jean
(Davenport).  They were married in 1947 in Portland.  They spent two years in
Portland before coming to Ionia where they have spent the rest of their lives at.

Lyle’s love for his wife, Jean, and his family always came first to him.  He was
a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and father-in-law. 
Lyle wasn’t afraid of work.  He has farmed, worked at his uncle’s sawmill,
delivered blocks of ice to homes in Portland, worked at Fisher Body in Lansing,
later worked at Universal Leigh in Saranac where he was a supervisor over
inspection until the plant closed in 1985.  He then worked at Ionia Public
Schools until he retired on Sept. 29, 1993.  Lyle’s passions were camping,
fishing, and hunting.  He was the happiest when he was pheasant and deer hunting
with his sons, Dan & Steve, and brother-in-law, Wayne Morgridge.  Lyle also
enjoyed the times that they both spent with Dick & Pat Hotchkiss, camping and
going to the farm shows.

Lyle always looked for ways to make people laugh and help anyone in need, there
were no strangers to Lyle.  His nickname if you knew Lyle was Trouble, as he
loved to pick on the clerks in the stores or at Shiloh Church (where they
attended), you often would hear “Here comes TROUBLE”!  Although Lyle is no
longer with us, the legacy of love and laughter he has left will bless many
generations to come.

Lyle is survived by his loving wife, Jean (Davenport) Hummel; children, Sandra
(Chester) Hummel of Texas, Daniel (Jan) Hummel of Traverse City, Patricia
(Richard) Hotchkiss of Sheridan, and Steven Hummel of Traverse City;
grandchildren, Belinda (Scott) Ferguson of Bailey, Samantha (Mike) Hanel of
Tennessee, Kindra (Jim) Collins of Texas, Shawn (Sue) Fletcher of Florida;
greatgrandchildren, Nicholas Ferguson, Tyler (Danielle) Ferguson, Alexsis
Durham, and Colton Collins; brother, Donald Hummel ; sister-in-laws, Colleen
Kessler and Kathleen Hammel; many nieces, nephews, and friends.

He was preceded by his parents; brothers, Leonard (Vada) Hummel, Clifford
(Jeanette) Hummel, and Harold (Phyllis) Hummel; and sister-in-law, Marion Hummel.

Funeral Services will be held Thursday, Aug. 20, 11 a.m. at Shiloh Community
Church with Pastors Shane Prewitt & Ken Harger officiating.  Interment at Sunset
Memorial Garden in Ionia.  Visitation on Wednesday at Lake Funeral Home in Ionia
