Michael Joseph Loeffler, son of Stanley and Irene (Hartford) Loeffler was born on January 16, 1958, in Albion, NE. He was baptized and confirmed at St. Anthony's Catholic Church. He attended elementary school at St. Anthony's and graduated from Cedar Rapids High School in 1976. Mick moved to Omaha after graduating and worked in construction with his brother Cleo.

On October 27, 1979, Mick was united in marriage to Cheryl McIntyre at St. Anthony's Catholic Church. The couple lived in Cedar Rapids where they raised their children Jenna and Brandon. Mick and his brother Ed ran a custom hay business for many years. In 2004, Mick started working for Shanle Brothers Farms. You could not have found a harder worker then Mick. He loved to fix things and was always there to lend a hand. In addition to working, Mick was a huge supporter of the community of Cedar Rapids. If there was an event in town, he was there and involved somehow. He served his community on the Volunteer Fire Department from 1992 – 2016, the town board from 2005 – 2020, being chairman for 10 years, and was very involved in the community's Melodrama- especially when it came to Loefflerize-ing the props. His wife, children, and grandchildren were his world. He always wanted them to "just be humble and kind". Mick will be dearly missed by his family and his community.

Mick was a member of St. Anthony's Catholic Church and was very involved with helping in any way he could. He was also a member of the Knights of Columbus.

Mick is survived by his loving wife Cheryl of Cedar Rapids, NE and their two children: Jenna (Rick) Malander of Belgrade, NE and Brandon (Macaulay) Loeffler of Omaha, NE; five beautiful grandchildren: Jack, Carly, and Brooks Malander, Charlie and McKenna Loeffler; 13 siblings: Joan Berney; Cleo (Nola) Loeffler; Marilyn (Dale) Earhart; Bill (Emma) Loeffler; Margaret (Jim) Lukas; Theresa Farmer; Kathy (Paul) Turk; Leonna (Ed) Bessey; Ed (Jane) Loeffler; David (Sharmond) Loeffler; Barb Westmeyer; Irene (Ron) Rutten; Debra (R.T.) Truhlicka; sisters-in-law and brothers- in-law: Carolyn (Karl) Vaclavek; Diane (Jim) Martinsen; Dallas (Joann) McIntyre; Lois (Leroy) Johannes; many nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.
