He was born on June 3, 1947, in Greenville, Ohio, to the late Warren and Doris (Fourman) Wert.
In addition to his parents, Mike was preceded in death by his sister, Diane Wert.
Mike was a 1967 graduate of Franklin Monroe High School. He was a fuel truck driver for Earhart Petroleum for almost 35 years. When he wasn't working, he had a short list of activities you could find him doing. He was a NASCAR and Dale Earnhardt fan. He had attended several races in venues such as Bristol Motor Speedway and Talladega Speedway. When the weather was nice, he enjoyed taking care of his yard.
Mike is survived by his wife of 51 years, Marilyn (Nill) Wert, whom he married on June 1, 1968; his children, Chad Wert and Scott Wert, both of Arcanum, Ohio; his granddaughter, Keisha Wert, and her fiancé, Austin White, of Greenville; his sister, Linda Altic and her husband, Larry, of Fayetteville, Georgia; and his beloved beagle, Billy.
The family has entrusted Tribute Funeral Homes, Greenville Campus, with the arrangements.
