In loving memory of our father, son, family member and friend, Dr. Michael Nieder, D.D.S., who passed Sept. 6, 2014. We love you and will cherish your memory always.

Mike graduated from Franklin High School and the University of Washington Dental School.

In 1972, Mike opened his dental practice in Coupeville. He retired in 1995 to run the family real estate business and pursue his various hobbies.

Mike earned the title of Eagle Scout as a young man and was a member of the Coupeville Lion’s Club for many years. Mike was an accomplished golfer and longtime member of Whidbey Golf and Country Club. He enjoyed a lifetime of golf with his friends and especially his daughter Devra Nieder.

Coaching his son Dan’s youth baseball and basketball teams was one of Mike’s greatest joys.

He also enjoyed spending his days riding his horses, fishing and beachcombing with his friends and beloved dog Laeliah.

He was a true cowboy, a fantastic chef and a voracious reader who loved to learn. His wit and humor will never be forgotten.

His family would like to express their abundance of gratitude to his wonderful and devoted caregivers.

Per Mike’s request, there will be no service.
