William "Mike" Poore

March 7, 2021

William M. “Mike” Poore, age 48, of Wilmington, DE, went home to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on Sunday, March 7, 2021. Mike was a loving husband, daddy, and pop-pop who had a heart of gold. He was known for giving the best hugs. Mike cherished his family and was extremely protective of them. When it came to cleaning sneakers everyone went to Mike! He liked nothing better than to be out in the ocean on his boat fishing and crabbing with his brother, Frank. Mike enjoyed listening to country and rock music. He loved painting cars and was a jack of all trades. He will be deeply missed. Mike is survived by his loving wife, Bonnie Mace; children: Nina Rucinski (Max), Devon Poore, Taylor Poore, Skyler Poore, and William Poore Jr.; grandson, Noah; mother, Carlyn Reese; siblings: Dorothy Grabowski, Richard Poore, Frank Poore (Jodi), and Mike Reese; and several nieces, nephews, cousins, valued friends; and his pit lab who was like another child, Bella. He was preceded in death by his daughter, Rachael Poore; father, Richard Poore; stepfather, Edward Reese; and brother, Johnny Poore. A viewing will be held Tuesday, March 16, 2021, from 2-3 PM at Strano & Feeley Family Funeral Home, 635 Churchmans Rd., Newark, DE 19702 followed by a service in celebration of Mike’s life at 3 PM.
