Michael “Mike” Kammeyer, age 61, of River Falls passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on Tuesday, July 14, 2020 at United Hospital in St. Paul, MN. He was born in Jacksonville, Florida, lived in San Diego, California and moved to Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin to be closer to family. His love of warm weather, beaches and oceans stayed with him wherever he went. In 1979, Mike was united in marriage to Pamela Jasper and in 1984, the couple moved to River Falls, Wisconsin as a result of Mike’s job.
He worked as a senior technology and management consultant, embracing the roles of leader and mentor. Mike was proud of his work, the companies he worked at, and the many wonderful friendships he built along the way. Mike, not only loved the ocean, he loved his three grandsons, family fishing trips to Canada and his dog, Opie. He is remembered as a warm-hearted person who opened his home for a grilled meal and a place to stay.
Mike is survived by his wife, Pam; children, Amy (Raymond) Mitchell; Christopher Kammeyer; grandsons, Connor Mitchell, Gavin Mitchell, and Bhody Kammeyer; father, Lee Kammeyer; siblings, Sheryl (Elmer) Winchell, Tim Kammeyer, Lisa (Tom) Short, Vicki Kammeyer, John Kammeyer; several nieces, nephews and in-laws. He is preceded in death by his mother, Carol; and sister, Misty Sines. A family memorial service will take place at a later date.

So very sorry for your loss Pam. Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this sad time.
I had the great pleasure to know Mike – he was a mentor to me and became a friend. He was always quick to laugh and lend a hand. My condolences to you – he will be missed.
To Pam and Mike’s family: I had the privilege to know Mike and work with him in a short project in Minneapolis, but enough time to recognize his excellent personality, his strong expertise and great sense of humor. He always prioritized his family above everything and always spoke highly of the privilege of being a parent. I last saw him in St Paul for lunch last year and it was a great time catching up. I am very sorry for your loss. May Mike rest in peace.
Pam and family. I am so sorry to hear of Mike’s passing. Sending prayers and peace for comfort during this difficult time.

Mike was one of the first people that I met when I started at Aeritae Consulting in 2005. He was immediately friendly and always very helpful. Such a warm hearted guy and a great friend during many ups and downs. Mike spoke constantly of his love and pride in his family. Please know that you were loved in a very special way.

I had the opportunity to work with Mike nearly 6 years ago. He was wonderful to work with, a great mentor, and always found a way to make the work fun. All around great guy. He will be missed.
Pam and family, words can’t express how sadden I am to hear about this. Hugs to you all and especially you Pam who I am proud to call friend
I am sorry for your loss. I worked with Mike at Buffalo Wild Wings, he was always a very thoughtful and giving person.
So sorry to hear. Mike and I did not always agree but we always respected each other and kept our focus on the goal. As such we were able to draw on both of our strengths, experience, and knowledge allowing our groups to form a very effective working relationship. I learned a lot of valuable leadership knowledge from Mike. Thank you Sir!
I’m so deeply saddensed to hear of his passing. Mike was extremely influential for me and my career. He was a professional mentor and helped me to become the leader I am today. My heart aches for his family and friends. He will live on in all our memories.
I am shocked and saddened to have learned about Mike’s passing. He and I are former colleagues and we have kept in touch and shared stories about Opie, Hazel, Lilo and Stitch and then we shared cat rescue stories with Kitten and Garfunkel. I will miss his text messages and coffee invites. He was such a kind hearted individual and his laugh was intoxicating. A talented individual who will be missed here on earth, but forever in our hearts. God Bless Mike and his family.
Barbara, I am so sorry to hear this and my deepest condolences to you and your famiky. I worked with Mike at Buffalo Wild Wings. He was a wonderful mentor and friend.
Mike was a great person and I enjoyed working with him at Buffalo Wild Wings. You have my deepest condolences. The world needs more people like Mike.
Mike was a great guy. He had that awesome smile and was quick to laugh. He was fun to be around. He will be remembered.
To know Mike was to know his kind heart. He had a genuine care for everyone especially his family. I am saddened by this news and send my most sincere sympathies to family and loved ones.
Pam, John and I are so shocked and sorry for your loss. We were lucky enough to have you and Mike as neighbour’s March 2019 in Florida. Mike had so much pride and love for his family which was evident from his father, your daughter and 3 grandkids visiting and just enjoying life at the beach. Our deepest condolences to you and your family.
Dear Pam and Family, upon first meeting Mike at NCS, I saw Mike’s experience, character, respect and care in his smile and way of being. What a unique blend of heart, smarts and wit he brought every day. And unlike many who’ve been around the career block, Mike kept learning and growing—a tribute to his good nature and big soul. I smile thinking of him as a talented employee or with glass of Merlot in hand. Like you I am so blessed to have known him all these years. He found joy in life and brought joy to others.
I am so sorry for your loss. Mike was a good friend and I will miss our conversations and his insights.
Pam and Family
Condolences from Belleair Beach. Mike’s humor, friendship, grilling skills and beach love will truly be missed
Love Michael Joyce and Mike Gerwe
Pam and family,
I am sooo very sorry for your loss. Pam you often talked about the fun music events and the things you enjoyed together, especially times with family. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.
Dear Pam and Family,
I am so saddened about Mike’s passing. I never got to meet Mike, but I worked with Pam and would hear wonderful loving stories about her husband, children and grandchildren. I cannot imagine how much Mike will be missed! Please except my deepest sympathy and reach out if there is anything that I can do for you.
Pam and family,
I’m so sorry for your loss and send you my sympathies. Mike was a truly quality person. He brought warmth and care to every conversation. I worked with Mike at Aeritae and remember him as talented and always having multi year engagements because once he started it was hard for a customer to say goodbye to him. I’m saddened to have to wish him farewell.
So sorry to hear the news. He will be missed by all those he touched.
Pam, Amy, Christopher, We’re so shocked to hear of Mike’s passing. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Lynn & Mike Simon
Wishing you peace and compassion. I knew Mike when we worked together and I was at Unisys setting up the new Department of Homeland Security and the Transportation Security Administration. Mike was a consummate professional and great dinner partner.
I had the great fortune to work for Mike in the late 90’s at NCS. A true mentor and leader, his type of character was scarce then and near extinct now. I still recall advice he offered in conversation, when facing current situations at the office, some 20+ years later. Prayers and peace for his family and friends.
Mike has always been so very kind to me. Something he said that I will never forget, he learned more about leadership from being a father than any other place in his entire life. My prayers go out to his family.
Dear Mike’s family, I am incredibly sorry for your loss. May you be comforted by memories of his jovial spirit and warm smile. I had the pleasure of working with Mike at Aeritae and we bonded over the fact that we shared the same birthday. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
Very sad to hear, I already miss being able to call him or get a call from him. He was much more than a work colleague to me. We compared life stories on a semi regular basis. I know he was proud of his kids, their significant others and the grand kids. Missing that knowing snicker of his already.
My deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences. Mike was a great mentor and had my greatest admiration. He respected and earned respect. A leader with an edge and a man with great conviction. I always enjoyed my discussions with Mike. He will be sadly missed.
Pam, Amy and Christopher. Words fail me. Mike was so many things. He was a source of strength and confidence. He was kind but could be brutally honest if it was called for. For more than forty years he has been like a brother. Time and the treasure that is his memory will help ease the hurt. And help to heal the heart. Please remember that we are here for you, so don’t hesitate to speak up if we can help you. Sending peace, healing thoughts and love.
Pam, So sorry to hear of your loss, thinking of you.
I had many excellent interactions with Mike over the years, and always found him to be a man of integrity, honesty, and willing to help others. I had no idea he had health issues, and was surprised and saddened by his loss. He was a wonderful man!
I also had the privilege of working with Mike at NCS in the late 90s and am grateful for the knowledge that I continue to use everyday both at work and in life. So sad to hear about his passing.
My thoughts are with all of you at this time. I had the honor of working with Mike at Aeritae. He demonstrated sincere commitment to doing the right thing for the company and client. I am so, so saddened to hear of his passing.
Oh Mike. I have such great memories of you at ACG. You will be missed.
I had the good fortune to work with Mike at Buffalo Wild Wings. He was a talented professional and a truly good person. I am so saddened by his loss. Prayers to his family and friends.
Very sorry to hear about Mike passing, please do accept my sincere condolences. I had the good fortune to work with Mike on the Medtronic project and one thing that I remember was that he was very humble, family centered & approachable. My prayers for the family.
My deepest condolences. I was shocked to see the article on Mike’s death. I worked with him on several projects at local companies in the Twin Cities. He always brought great knowledge to the team. Best wishes to you and your family.
Truly sorry to hear about Mike’s passing. He and I worked together briefly and I enjoyed his approach to technology, work and his personal life. I really enjoyed working with him. My best wishes to you and you family.
Mike was a great person with a big heart. We worked together at Aeritae Consulting and bonded through our love for the beach. Mike will always be remembered for his contagious smile and kindness. Continued prayers to his family and loved ones as they heal through their loss. May you find joy in the memories you had with Mike. God bless.
