Michael J. Tague, 62, of Champaign, died the evening of Friday, Feb. 17, 2017 at Carle Foundation Hospital, Urbana.

Mike was born on Jan. 30, 1955, in Alton, the oldest child and only son of Charles and Loretta (Medlock) Tague. He married Lynn Warren on Oct 30, 1987. Mike was preceded in death by his mother.

He is survived by his loving wife, Lynn; his father, Charles; two children, Collin Tague and Abigail Graham; grandaughter, Juliette Richardson (Baby Boss); two sisters, Mary (Dale) Busler and Victoria (Gene) Prairie, and two brothers-in-law Eric and Keith Warren.

Mike graduated from Alton Senior High School in 1973, and went on to Bradley University where he graduated Suma Cum Laude in 1977. Mike completed his formal education at the University of Illinois in 1979 with a Juris Doctorate. He was a practicing attorney at the law firm of Flynn, Palmer and Tague.

Mike's life was a colorful blend of friends, family, gardening and animals, and his quirky sense of humor always brought laughter to the mix. He was good at everything: he wrote short stories, made huge breakfasts, and he sang showtunes. Services have been held.
