Michael Alexander Wallner

Michael Alexander Wallner, 17, of Westfield, IN died January 11, 2024 at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital. He was born January 30, 2006 in Novotroitsk, Orenburg, Russia.

He along with his three siblings were homeschooled by his mother, Linda, then he attended Westfield High School. 

Michael enjoyed playing basketball with friends at the neighborhood park and at Grand Park. Michael will be remembered as a soft-spoken, likeable, funny, young man.  

He was a part-time employee for A&H Floor Service where he refinished gymnasium floors. Most recently, Michael worked at SaladWorks in Westfield where he was known for his great sense of humor and would surprise his family by bringing home unique salad creations. This was a good fit since Michael loved to cook. He demonstrated business savvy by collecting designer athletic shoes and flipping them for profit. He was leaning toward a future in business or sales.

Michael enjoyed spending time with family and friends and was known to share many laughs with those around him.
