Michael Brindle, age 30, passed away on February 19, 2026. Born on January 14, 1996, Michael lived a life marked by deep love for his family and a generous spirit that touched everyone who knew him.
Michael was a devoted husband to his beloved wife, Ivve Weflen, and a proud and loving father to Finn, Maeve, and Simon Brindle. His children were his greatest joy, and he treasured every moment spent playing, teaching, laughing, and simply being their dad. His love for his family was evident in all that he did. He was deeply dedicated to his wife and children, finding happiness in everyday moments—shared laughter, quiet time together, and creating memories that will be carried on through them.
He is survived by his parents, Bruce and Regine Brindle of Peru, Indiana. He is also survived by his siblings: Melanie (Joseph) Reynolds of Billings, Montana; James (Bethany) Brindle of Indianapolis, Indiana; Richard (Amanda) Brindle of Lizton, Indiana; and Jonathan (Cynthia) Brindle of Richmond, Indiana. He is also survived by his sister-in-law, Marcia (Matthew) Shea.
Michael was a cherished uncle to his nieces and nephews: Brianne and Ethan Reynolds; Maya, Genevieve, Layla, Jacob, Logan, and Emma Brindle; and Nolan and Nora Shea. He delighted in their accomplishments and loved being part of their lives.
Michael had a strong appreciation for the outdoors and felt most at peace when surrounded by nature. He loved being outside and had a special talent for photography, using his camera to capture meaningful moments, natural beauty, and the world as he saw it. Through his photographs, he preserved memories and perspectives that reflected his thoughtful and observant nature.
Michael will be remembered for his kind heart, quiet strength, and the way he showed up for the people he loved. Whether offering encouragement, sharing a laugh, or lending a helping hand, he made others feel valued and cared for. His memory will live on in the lives of his children and in the countless moments of love shared with family and friends.
He will be deeply missed and forever loved.
