Michael Francis Behringer's Obituary
Michael F. Behringer, loved the beach
Mike Behringer, 62, of Rehoboth Beach, passed away on Monday, December 11, 2024, after a courageous battle with cancer. He was born on October 19, 1962, in Wilmington, DE to the late Francis & Helen Behringer.
Mike graduated from Salesianum School and the University of Delaware, then went to work for USPS. He started out as a letter carrier, and then worked in various management positions along the way, eventually finding a home working in the Marketing and Sales departments. Prior to retiring after a dedicated 40 year career, he recently served as Postmaster of Ocean View, DE.
Mike enjoyed traveling to tropical destinations, always making sure there was a good beach nearby. Eventually in 2010, Mike and his husband Nelson finally made the leap and built their home in Rehoboth Beach, a dream of theirs for many years.
Mike was a loving husband and father, sharing his life with his husband, Nelson Correa, with whom he celebrated over 30 years of partnership. He was a proud father to two cherished sons, Mason and Logan, both at home, who will remember him for his unwavering love and guidance.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, donations be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital www.stjude.org to support cancer research and aid for families affected by the disease.
