Michael Wayne Theus

Michael “Mike” Wayne Theus, 66, of Baytown, Texas, passed away unexpectedly, on Monday, September 12, 2022, in Livingston, Texas. He was born on August 30, 1956, in Kountze, Texas, to the late Ivan Theus and Letha Ross. Mike graduated from J. Frank Dobie High School in Houston, with the class of 1976 and attended trade school in Denver, Colorado.

Mike proudly served his country as a Lance Corporal in the United States Marine Corp for six years. He worked as a pipefitter for many years with Targa Resources, Zachry, and Austin Industrial among others.

Mike was an avid angler, who enjoyed spending quality time on his boat, just fishin’. He would often stop fishing to hunt for arrowheads, which became a favorite hobby of his. Mike was also a gun enthusiast and loved to go shooting, and his younger years, he enjoyed hunting. What he loved most in life was spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren, whom he loved unconditionally.

Mike was very family oriented, a great provider and protector of those he loved. Although he kept mainly to himself, he was smart, loyal and blunt to a fault. He was proud of his family and all they accomplished. Mike will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all who knew and loved him.

Mike was preceded in death by his parents; and brother Jason Ross. He leaves behind to cherish his loving memory, his wife Susan of Baytown; his brother Raybon Joe Theus of Livingston; his children Michael Timothy.
