He worked for Hines VA Hospital in Chicago for 15 years. They moved to Bemidji and he had been working for the last 7 years at the Red Lake Hospital as the Clinical Applications Coordinator. Mike’s passion was for studying and teaching the Bible. He was very involved in church, serving as an elder, teaching Sunday school, and leading small group Bible studies. Because God changed Mike’s own life so radically, his heart was set on discipling others and bringing up his children to follow God. His greatest goal in life was to serve the Lord by loving and caring for his family and by teaching others about the life changing power of God.

He is survived by his wife: Dawn Heisler of Bemidji 4 daughters: Heidi (Brent) Bessler of Bemidji Elise Heisler of Bemidji Laura Heisler of Bemidji Katryna Heisler of Bemidji Brother: Mark (Karen) Heisler Sister: Gail (Bill) Sachanko And numerous nieces and nephews
