Michael B. Imm, 63, of Cassadaga passed away at home with his family on on Tuesday, April 15, 2025. He was born on May 13, 1961.
Mike graduated from Cassadaga Valley Central School in May 1979. The day after his 18th birthday, he went into the Air Force, where he served four years in the Air Force Security Police.
Mike was a hard worker his entire life, starting early on Steve McChesney's farm, and at Agway. After the Air Force, he was a truck driver for 40 years, working for Hills, CH Colvin, Fairbank Farms, R&L Smith, Prime Inc., NEP Broadcasting and Wal-Mart, to name a few. He was also the owner and operator of several businesses: Imm & Son with his favorite Peterbilt "Big Red," CI Logistics, M&W LLC with another prize Peterbilt "Home Wrecker," and drove for more than three million miles...with no accidents. He ended his career with a stint at Heil Transportation.
In his life he wore a lot of hats, on the job and at home; he was a proud husband to his beloved wife, Wendy, whom he married on August 1, 2009; and a proud father. Mike's favorite role, however, was Papa: more than anything, he loved spending time with his grandkids.
He is preceded in death by his father, Frank L. Imm. He is survived by his wife, Wendy of Cassadaga; mother, Pauline Walker Imm of Forest City, NC; brother, Mark (Julia) Imm of Newark, DE; sister, Tina (Brian) Marz of Abilene, TX; son, Justin Imm of Sinclairville; son, Jake Carlstrom of Sinclairville; daughter, Jenna (Travis) Perry of Cassadaga; grandchildren, Aiden Weber, Riley and Wyatt Carlstrom, Benjamin and Juliet Perry; uncle, Bill and aunt, Virginia, both of Westfield; and many cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends.
The family will host a celebration of life at Cassadaga Legion on Saturday, May 24 from 12:00-3:00 PM. Mike will be interred at Charlotte Center Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Chautauqua Hospice & Palliative Care, 20 West Fairmount Avenue, Lakewood, NY 14750.
Arrangements are by the Jordan Funeral Home, 6 Parkway Drive in Sinclairville.
