David Michael Saalwaechter, Jr.

David Michael Saalwaechter, Jr. (Mike) (BushHog), age 37, passed away unexpectedly on April 18, 2020 in The Woodlands, Texas. He was born on November 13, 1982 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. As a child, he liked to read and draw. The arts intrigued him greatly, especially water colors. He greatly enjoyed the few years he lived in Alaska. He graduated from Woodlands High School. In his early life, he tried his hand at several different work environments, looking for his fulfillment, passion or joy. Mike enjoyed a two-year adventure in Florida, where he took several graphic design classes. He loved building computers and other “techy” items. He took his passion of technology and moved back to The
Woodlands where he began successfully designing websites. Mike recently began 3D printing with a growing business.

Mike was preceded in death by his grandparents, Faye Blattel, Loreese & Leon Saalwaechter; aunt, Karel Saalwaechter; uncle, Troy Cole; cousin, Richard Hulshof. He is survived by his grandfather, David Green (Alice); mother, Tina Saalwaechter; father, David Saalwaechter (Maria); brother, Kevin Saalwaechter (Beth); step-brothers, Jose Heredia (Michelle) and Alberto Heredia; aunts and uncles, Renee Palmer (Larry), Darrol Blattel; cousins, Robin Hodges (Justin), and Ben Mayberry (Jennifer).

As the immediate family grieves and mourns, we understand the desire of friends and family to come together and mourn Mike’s passing, however, due to the current pandemic and social restrictions, we feel that for the benefit of public health and safety, memorial services should be held at a later date to be announced.
