Michael Telgenhof, 79
Michael H. Telgenhof, 79, passed away peacefully on Sunday, May 10, 2026, at the James A. Haley Veterans’ Hospital in Tampa, Fla.
Born on Feb. 23, 1947 in Zeeland, Mike was the youngest of Herman and Gertrude Telgenhof's children. In 1966, at the age of 19, Mike was drafted into the United States Army and deployed to Vietnam. He served until 1968, earning the Purple Heart for wounds received in combat and the Bronze Star Medal for meritorious service and acts of heroism in the field.
Mike spent the heart of his career in banking, working for years at First Michigan Bank in Holland. After relocating to Punta Gorda in the mid-1990s, he brought those same instincts to Florida Community Bank, where he remained until his retirement in 2010.
Mike was a man of deep faith and quiet generosity. He showed up, and he helped, but he never expected anything in return. He was also a stubborn man, a badge he wore with good humor and zero apology. His stubbornness was never small-mindedness. It was conviction. Throughout his life, Mike remained a family man.
Mike is survived by his son, Chad Telgenhof, and daughter-in-law Kari; daughter, Kerri Kartel, and son-in-law Mike; grandchildren, Andrew Telgenhof, Riley Kartel, Aiden Telgenhof, Kyle Kartel and Adam Telgenhof; and sisters, Pat Zoeteway (Bob) and JoAnne Connally (John). He was preceded in death by his parents, Herman and Gertrude Telgenhof of Zeeland.
In keeping with his wishes, no public visitation or memorial service will be held. Michael will be laid to rest with military honors in a private family ceremony at the Florida National Cemetery in Bushnell, Fla.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Mike’s memory can be made to Shriners Hospitals for Children.
