Michael L. Hose, aged 70, residing in St. Louis, MO, passed away on June 27, 2023.
Born on October 19, 1952, Mike grew up in Baden and attended Northwest High School where he developed his street smarts and sharpened his witty sense of humor. He used his skills and magnetic personality to become an entrepreneur, running and operating his “nutty” business, Mike Hose Sales, for over 20 years.
At the age of 23, he married the love of his life, Patty (Naumann) Hose, and went on to have 2 daughters: Kim and Emily. A loving husband, father, and grandpa, Mike never failed to give hugs, say I love you, or tell just the right joke. He was kind, generous, understanding, and delightfully stubborn. He was gentle but also fought hard for the things that mattered. Mike blessed all who knew him, especially the lucky dogs who got to be his beloved pets: Smokey, whose tail is surely wagging at the pearly gates in anticipation of Mike coming home, and Maxine.
Mike is survived by his wife, Patty; his daughter and son-in-law, Kim and Jason Everhart; his daughter and son-in-law, Emily and Kevin Ragsdale; his grandchildren, Adriana, Charlie, and Isobel; and his rowdy brothers, Wally, John, Bill, and Jimmy. He is preceded in death by his mother and father, Mary and George Hose, and his granddaughter, Ella.
Come celebrate Mike’s legendary journey with a visitation at Kutis Funeral Home on Gravois Road on Sunday, July 2, from 2-5 pm. A funeral service will commence promptly at 5 pm.
In lieu of flowers, consider making a donation to The American Kidney Fund in Mike’s honor.
Sending the family powerful prayers. I always loved Mike’s FB posts. He loved his family and his friends. Baden has lost yet another great Badenite.
Hose ladies, we’re so sorry for your loss. He truly did make us laugh! Called Rick ‘Bill’, said it was his prison name. We will forever laugh at that. Mike was genuinely good guy.
Dear Patty, Dan and I are so sorry to hear about Mike. What a wonderful guy and he always made you laugh! He will be dearly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. God Bless you all.
Bob and I are so sorry for your loss Pat and family. We always had a great time together. Prayers and hugs your way.
Sending prayers of love and blessings to Patty Hose and her family and to Wally, John, Bill, & Jim Hose. Mike Hose was was a true gentleman. From 1977 until 1979 his brother Wally and I were married and had Joel Lawrence Hose, Mike’s nephew. Mike Hose is missed already. Rest in peace and love.
Dear Pat, Kim, Emily and family
It’s been a long time since we’ve seen you all but we still remember the fun we had and Mike’s larger than life personality. He seemed to enjoy life and loved you all so much.
We wish you peace, healing, and the comforting care of family and friends.
So sorry for your family’s loss. Mike was certainly a true friend to my brother Mark. Mark would always love when Mike would visit him. He would take him to Baden to visit the old neighborhood and old friends!! I am sure Mark is waiting at the pearly gates with a basketball to wrap his arms around Mike! Mimi Scheetz Werkmeister
We are so sorry for Mike’s passing. He will be missed the next time we all can get together.
Dear Patty,
I’m so sorry for your loss. I pray in time your heart will heal. May his memory be eternal.
Wishing you comfort at this time for your loved one gone. My condolences to the entire family.
It was nice to reacquaint with Mike through FB. He was truly a kind and very funny guy. His occupation of nuts and bolts was so fitting. I’m sure he made a lot of people laugh throughout the years. We grew up as neighbors on Concord Place.
Saddened to hear about Mike’s passing. I will always remember him playing basketball at the park in our younger days. He lit up the court with his play and personality. My condolences to family and friends. May he rest in peace.
Joe and I are so sorry for your loss. Mike was a great guy and always made everyone laugh! He will be truly missed. Joe and Donna Buchheit and family
Tim and I are so very for your loss.
Patty you and your family are in our prayers at this difficult time.
Patty and Family,
Sending prayers that God sends peace to your hearts in your time of sorrow.
Taught with Patty at St. Raphael years ago.
Dear Patty and family
I just learned of Mike’s passing tonight. I am so very sorry for your loss. I’ve known Mike since grade school at Baden. What a character! I was reacquainted with him through Patty when I met her at Clayton Brokerage. He was so very proud of Patty and his girls. I hope you all are comforted in knowing his strong love for you! Rest in peace, Mike. ❤️
