Obituary

Marshall “Mickey” Rodin, passed away on May 27, 2023, beloved husband of Betty for 66 wonderful years; adored brother of Bonnie Rodin (Allan Freeman); loving father of Bruce Rodin (Shari Rodin), Bari Slack (Danny Slack) and Simone Rodin (Tom Thurston); cherished Papa of Jordan Carey (Jimmy Carey), Matthew Rodin (Sam Yabrow), Skylar Slack, Joey Rodin (Bailey Moya), Ryan Slack, Shayna Thurston and Zola Thurston.

Mickey was born on April 18, 1936, and will be remembered for his love of and dedication to his family and friends. Mickey made everyone feel special and was ever present in the lives of those who he held close in his heart. He was also an innovator and highly respected business leader in the flexible packaging industry.

Mickey was an admirer of the arts, taking in theatre, music and film. He loved strolling through art shows, galleries and exhibits and could never leave without a treasured purchase. He was also an avid sports fan and enjoyed cheering at any sporting event, live or televised. He stood by his Bears and Cubbies, even though they disappointed year after year, and there was no bigger Illini fan. He enjoyed the beauty of nature, especially the beach and sunshine. Mickey always welcomed a round of golf. He had a big swing but his search for lost balls was endless.

He will be deeply missed by all who were lucky enough to have known him.
