Michael D. "Mickey" Witman, 69, of Fleetwood, passed away peacefully in his home on Sunday, June 12, 2022, surrounded by the love of his family.  Mickey gave lung cancer a three year long courageous battle.  He was the loving husband of Brenda J.

Mickey was an avid hunter, hunting for deer, bear and small game.  He also loved fishing for trout and yearly salmon fishing trips to Pulaski, NY.  He enjoyed foraging in the woods for morel mushrooms and deer antler drops.  Mickey loved the summer, and he would be outside as much as possible, finding projects to keep him occupied.  Working in the yard was a complete joy for him.
