  Michael G. Vandenberg, 61, passed away peacefully with his family by his side on Wednesday, April 20, 2011, at Appleton Medical Center. Mike was born July 6, 1949, to the late Isadore and Louise (Blohm) Vandenberg. After graduating from Kimberly High School, he served in the U.S. Coast Guard from 1967-1971, during which time he developed a love of the coast, particularly Cape Henry. On April 8, 1978, he married Vicki Thiel and they had two beautiful children together. Mike retired from Kimberly-Clark in 2006 after 24 years as a machine tender. He was a loving husband and father who provided his family with everything they ever needed in life. An extremely intelligent man, he was an excellent teacher to his children. He had a gift for drawing and woodworking and a passion for sailing. Every summer he took his family to vacation in cottages all over northern Wisconsin and made some great memories. Mike will be sorely missed by his wife, Vicki; his daughter, Beth (Brandon) Sanderfoot, Combined Locks; his son, Michael (fiancee, Mackenzie) Vandenberg, Appleton; and his three grandsons, whom he adored, Caleb, Colin and Cooper Sanderfoot. He is further survived by his brother, Rick (Sandy) Vandenberg; two sisters, Joan (Kevin) Deno and Janet (Bill) Meyer; his father-in-law, Wayne Thiel; a brother-in-law, Chuck (Dorie) Thiel; a sister-in-law, Bobbie (Dennis) Gerrits; and many nieces and nephews. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brother, Eugene Vandenberg; his mother-in-law, Jeanne Thiel; and his dog and best buddy, Mollie. His family wishes to thank the staff of ThedaCare Hospice, the AMC ER, ICU and Floors 3 and 8, for all of the amazing care with which they provided Mike and his family. A special thanks to the Gold Cross Ambulance Service and his nephew, Joe Vandenberg. Fargo Funeral Home 400 W. Wisconsin Avenue Kaukauna 920-766-6200 Online Condolences:
