Michael James Nace, 59

April 17, 2025

Michael James “Mike” Nace, 59, of Mount Joy, passed away unexpectedly on April 17, 2025. Born in Wrightsville, he was the son of Larry Nace and the late Judith Nace.

Mike was a graduate of Columbia High School. He worked in the construction industry for many years, and was most recently employed at Culpeper Wood Preservers (formerly H.M. Stauffer & Sons). Mike was also a proud veteran of the US Marines. His passion was cars, especially Mustangs, and he enjoyed building model cars. Mike was an avid football and hockey fan, and he always cheered on Pittsburgh teams. He was also a big fan of all kinds of rock music. Most of all, Mike was a kind and caring man, devoted father, and dear friend.

Mike is survived by his son, Brandon M. Nace (Shirley Wentzel), 4 grandchildren: Bradley, Raelyn, Scarlette, and Mia; and 2 siblings, Jon Nace (Shirl) and Debra Walburn.

A graveside service to honor and remember Mike will be held at a later date at Indiantown Gap National Cemetery, 60 Indiantown Gap Road, Annville, PA 17003.

I did think your dad would go this early. He survived cancer. He was such a strong person. I am so glad I got to know him was I was younger. I know he was a good father to you ( Brandon). And he will always be with you in your heart ❤️.
