Mike Pfefferle ‘89 passed away on July 4, 2021, after a courageous battle with cancer. Mike was the President of Pfefferle Companies and known for the respect and dignity he gave to employees and all whom he worked with throughout the years. His charitable and volunteer works were many and his generosity was known throughout the Fox Cities Community and especially at Xavier. Sports, fishing, and Marquette basketball were among his many passions and whether it was coaching hoops, fishing with family and friends, or enjoying an evening with his Golden Eagles, his bright smile and love for life made for many special moments. Mike was a loving husband to Lydie, and father to sons Charlie and Sam, and daughter Chloe.
