Sweet, devoted husband, proud father to two outstanding men, and caring step father, Michael James “Mike” Omensetter, 72, of Bareville, passed away peacefully on September 10, 2024. Born in Philadelphia, PA, he was the son of the late James and Anna “Lois” (Rostick) Omensetter. He was married over 16 years to his beloved wife Faye B. (Shaub) Omensetter.

Out of high school, Mike enlisted in the US army, serving honorably as an army medic at Fort Sam Houston, TX. Returning to Montgomery County, he worked various jobs before becoming an electrical estimator for a number of years at the former Rumsey Electric Company in Conshohocken, PA. He then worked as a sheriff’s deputy for the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Department for 18 years until retiring in 2018. During his time there he worked toward his associate’s degree in Criminal Justice at Montgomery County Community College.

He was a man’s man. An avid outdoorsman, Mike enjoyed shooting sporting clays and pheasants, hunting with his son and friends and was a former Scout leader. He held black belts in Arnis and Kenpo, was a proud member of the NRA, the Patriotic Order Sons of America, Eagleville camp 523 and was obligated with many of his friends and Brothers on March 18, 2017 at the National Headquarters building in Valley Forge National Park. Mike was also a past mason. He enjoyed the camaraderie of fellow deputies and others from the courthouse where he worked, and organized a yearly Veteran’s Day shoot that became an event many looked forward to.

In addition to his wife, Mike is survived by his 2 sons: Dereck Rogers (Wendy) and Michael Omensetter (Nicole) and a step daughter Brittany Young (Kurt); 3 grandchildren: Mitchell Rogers, and Fianna and Bennett Omensetter; and 2 step grandchildren: Liam and Abby Young; and his brother Kurt Omensetter.
