Michael Humen
September 18, 1945 — March 18, 2023
Michael Humen was born September 18, 1945, in Brooklyn, New York and passed away Saturday, March 18, 2023, at his home in Bedford, Texas after a 2-year battle with cancer.
He grew up in Queens, New York, attending Bishop Loughlin High School in Brooklyn, New York where he was a star runner and quarter miler. After graduating from Manhattan College in Riverdale, New York, he spent several years on the New York Stock Exchange until he transferred to lead a company’s interest in Chicago when the Chicago Board Options Exchange opened. In Chicago, Michael met the love of his life, and his three children were born.
After moving to Texas in 1989, Michael attended University of Texas, Arlington to receive a teaching certification. He taught at Bell High School and after retirement substituted at Trinity High School. He truly believed in teaching he was fulfilling God’s purpose for his life.
Michael had a lifelong passion for sports and fitness. First as a runner and a semi-pro softball player, and later as an avid bicycle rider and golfer. He coached baseball for many years and supported all the activities of his children and grandchildren throughout his life.
He is survived by his wife of 44 years, Kathryn Yarnell Humen of Bedford, Texas; his children, Stephen Humen of Denver, Colorado, David Humen and wife April Humen of Grapevine, Texas, and Melinda Mabee and husband Henry Mabee of Phoenix, Arizona; grandchildren Nevaeh Pattillo, Weston Mabee and Harper Humen; sister Pauline Curry of East Bridge, New Jersey; numerous cousins, nieces and nephews and a host of friends.
His love God, great love of life, sense of humor and generosity made him loved by all who met him.
A service will be held at Calvary Lutheran Church in Richland Hills on Saturday, April 15, 2023, at 2:00pm, with a Celebration of Life immediately following across the street at El Chico’s.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to the Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network, 4502 East West Highway, Suite 610, Bethesda, MD 20814. https://bcan.org/
