In Loving Memory of Michael Wetzel of Environmental Health Services

Michael Wetzel

Michael Wetzel
As you all have heard about the shootings in San Bernardino, I just wanted you to know that one of those killed was Michael Wetzel. Michael was a supervisor of Environmental Health Services at San Bernardino County and a SWANA member. I had the good fortune to work with my Michael setting up a MOLO Training@Work program last June for some of our members at SBC. He was a very nice guy. He leaves a wife and six kids and was only 37 years ago. I guess you never know where tragedy will strike and who you may know. Please say a prayer for him and his family.

Company: Environmental Health Services

Years of Service: 21

Comments: Michael Wetzel leaves behind 6 children and a wife, and as a result, his death has received some media attention, and a crowd funding website to support the family has been established on youcaring.com.
