Michael passed away on March 28, 2025 and joined his mother, Sharon. They had a special bond with each other and are now together again in heaven.

Mike was born May 25, 1976 to Keith and Sharon (Lakey) Schwartz. The family moved from Fallon Montana to Baker when he was very young. He attended schools in Baker, graduating from Baker High School in 1994. As a young child he enjoyed playing baseball and was in Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts. Being on vacation and water skiing at Holter Lake were some of his fondest memories. While in high school he participated in football, basketball and track.

Following graduation Mike began working with various oilfield affiliated companies, which took him to many different places. He especially enjoyed his time in Alaska with his cousins, aunt and uncle. He loved his family and never would forget at Christmas time to surprise his nephews and nieces with silver dollars. He was fondly referred to as “Chocolate Mike” by his nieces and nephews. Mike was a young man when he became a father to Kobee Hickey and they were able to reconnect and become closer later in life. He just became a grandfather with the birth of a granddaughter, Kircher Hickey.

Mike will be greatly missed by his father, Keith Schwartz of Baker; brothers, Paul (Bridget) Schwartz, Josh Schwartz both of Baker; sister, Anna Schwartz of Baker, son, Kobee (Whitney) Hickey of Kinsey, MT and granddaughter, Kircher Hickey; numerous nieces and nephews.

Mike is preceded in death by his mother, Sharon Schwartz; grandparents, Jake and Erna Schwartz, Houston and Nellie Lakey.

In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made in memory of Michael Schwartz to Fallon County Recreation Department.
