Michael Randolph Rehberg, age 64, passed from this life at his home on February 23, 2021. He was born on August 22, 1956 in Marianna, FL.
Mike was an avid expert outdoorsman and fisherman. He found great joy in working the land and gardening, an important part of his family’s heritage. He was an inventive handyman and could fix anything. Aside from his early years as a farmer, Mike worked for many years in maintenance at Pelican Point Golf Course on Tyndall Air Force Base in Panama City. Mike was a 1975 graduate of the Florida School for the Deaf and Blind in St. Augustine. As an FSDB Dragon, he played multiple sports and was an award-winning athlete, including being listed as an All-American quarterback and a Who’s Who athlete. He also was very mechanically inclined and soared in the vocational training offered by the school at the time. He was a proud part of the Deaf community and was a regular participant in school reunions and expos.
