Edward "Mike" Michael Hague

Edward “Mike” Michael Hague, 89, of Carmel, Indiana, passed away peacefully on February 17, 2026.

Born in Mishawaka on January 31, 1937, he was the son of Frank and Doris (Mais) Hague. Mike built a life defined by an unwavering devotion to his family, a strong work ethic, and a quiet enjoyment of the things that brought him joy. On July 4, 1959, he married Nancy Bamber, beginning a 66-year partnership rooted in love and loyalty that carried them through decades of moves, careers, and raising a family.

Mike grew up enjoying the outdoors and fishing with his dad and Grandpa Mais, as well as enjoying the Indiana Dunes with friends. After graduating from South Bend Central High School, Mike attended Notre Dame for a year before completing his physics degree at the University of Texas. During that time, he also served in the U.S. Army, working in missile testing at Fort Bliss from 1958 to 1964, an experience that reflected his practical mind and steady sense of duty.

Mike spent his career in consumer electronics, working for Admiral, Zenith, and, eventually, RCA/Thomson Consumer Electronics, during which he traveled the world and retired in 2001. He was known for being practical, hands-on, and unafraid to take on a problem that needed fixing.

Outside of work, he loved biking, long walks, and tending to his garden. He never turned down a Portillo’s beef sandwich or an opportunity to talk about his mother-in-law’s cooking. He followed Notre Dame football with the same loyalty he brought to most things in his life. He was comfortable with people, always striking up a conversation whenever he could. He was the happiest when he had a project to tinker with and fix around the house. He loved his country and enjoyed conversations about current events.

In addition to his parents, Mike was preceded in death by his brothers, Dennis Hague and Frank Hague, Jr.

Survivors include his loving wife of 66 years, Nancy Ann (Bamber) Hague; children, Melissa (David) Rosal, Steven Hague, Brian Hague (Lisa), and Christine (Ryan) Birch; 8 grandchildren, DJ Rosal, Alex (Courtney) Rosal, Lauren Hague, Madison Hague, Caitlyn Hague, Kaley Hague, Eliette Birch, and Henry Birch. He was also anticipating the arrival of his first great-grandson, who will carry on his legacy by sharing his middle name, Michael.

Family and friends will gather on Friday, February 27, 2026, at 9am in Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Church, 14598 Oak Ridge Rd, Carmel, IN 46032, where the Mass of Christian Burial will be conducted at 11am followed by a luncheon downstairs for all to enjoy.

A Committal Service with Military Honors will take place at 2:00 pm in Our Lady of Peace Cemetery, 9001 Haverstick Road, Indianapolis, IN 46240.
