BARGERSVILLE
Lee E. "Mike" Kehl, 74 of Bargersville, Indiana parted this world on Saturday, April 10, 2021. Mike was born on September 20, 1946 to the late Donald Martin Kehl Sr. and Mildred (Langan) Kehl.
Mike was a musician all his young adult life. Touring with Bobby Helms in the mid-70s. He played with several different bands throughout the 70s and 80s.
On July 5, 1994 joining the Johnson County Sheriff’s Department was his greatest achievement. Dorn Miller told Mike that he liked the way he handled people. He enjoyed his work and he later retired from Princes Lakes Community.
Getting to know the Blues community throughout his last years he met many good people. Sitting in on the drums, the musicians nicknamed him the Shuffle King. They would say that he had the best shuffle beat around.
Mike is preceded in death by his parents, Donald Martin Kehl Sr., and Mildred (Langan) Kehl; daughter, Amber Ruth Kehl; stepson, Rusty Bryant; sisters, Ruthann Kehl Shockley and Donna Mae Winter; and brother, Pat Kehl.
Mike is survived by his wife, Nancy Kehl; son, Tom Kehl; stepson, Charles Bryant; grandson, Evan Bryant; brother, Don (Juanita) Kehl of Illinois; as well as several nieces and nephews.
Mike never knew a stranger. He and his grandson, Evan, were always together when Evan was small. You might even say they were like peas and carrots having daily adventures.
Mike will be missed by all who knew him.
