Michael Patrick Antrim, 62, died peacefully Oct. 12, 2020. He was the husband of Sheila Hesnan Antrim. They were married for almost 30 years. Born in Allentown, he was the son of the late Stanley C. Antrim Sr. and Dorothy (Bennicoff) Antrim.
He grew up in Emmaus and graduated from Emmaus High School in the Class of 1975. Everybody knew him as Tuna, a nickname he received in high school, which he carried proudly for the remainder of his life.
He had a profound impact on the people who knew and loved him. He was a loyal, loving husband, son, brother, uncle and friend. As a Christmas Eve baby, he would dress up as Santa Claus and visit family and friends from sundown to sun up. He had a kind and gentle soul and his smile lit up a room.
He is survived by his wife; a brother, Stanley Jr., of Emmaus and his partner, Pamela Fenstermaker; a daughter, Erin and her husband, Erik Kuhn, of Lancaster; a brother, John and his wife, Tracy, of Emmaus and their sons, Shaun and his partner, Allison, of Philadelphia and Blake and his wife, Laura and daughter, Molly, of Macungie; sisters, Carol and Joan Lackner. He was predeceased by a sister, Jeanette.
He was proud to be an Antrim.
