It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Mike Leighly on January 25, 2026, in Batavia, Illinois. He was born on September 12, 1973, to Louis and Joan Leighly.

Mike was a loving father, son, and friend. He will be remembered for his kind heart, generous spirit, and unwavering love for his family. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him. Over the past year Mike had made big strides in the 2.5 year battle with clinical depression but finally lost the battle to this formidable condition.
