The world lost its brightest star when Michael John Tempalski, 38, of Manheim passed away on Saturday, January 12th, 2013. Michael leaves behind his wife, Trish, and their three young children, Ty (10), Ava (7), and Brody (4).

He was born on December 22, 1974 to Michael and Janet Tempalski in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He was the brother of Jason and Joshua Tempalski. He is also survived by his nephews, nieces, and many family members who dearly love him.

Mike graduated from North Catholic High School in 1993. He attended the University of Pittsburgh and earned his Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience and his Masters in Physical Therapy. Later, he went on to fulfill a dream and became part owner of Physical Therapy Associates of Manheim, Myerstown and Hershey.

Michael's life revolved around his three young children. He coached and sponsored their athletic teams, supported Ty in Cub Scouts, and never missed an event for one of his children. He had the warmest heart and best smile which was constantly on his face.  Michael was a hard working man who always put his wife and children above himself.  He loved to go hiking, kayaking, be outdoors, read, and be with his family. He had a passion for cooking and always claimed he was his wife's best sous chef.

Michael was truly the kindest and best man and he will forever be missed and loved.
