Michael was born January 30, 1998 in Charleston County, son of Dr. James Mueller and Dr. Rene Dentiste Mueller. A lifetime resident of Isle of Palms, he loved island living and all things Low Country. He was an avid outdoor enthusiast preferring to spend his time surfing, swimming, fishing and hunting. He was recently graduated from Wando High School and was on a month long tour of Europe with his brother and cousins. Mikey loved skateboarding and was trying to skate all the best skate parks in Europe. While visiting friends and family in Innsbruck, Austria, Mikey made a daring climb of the Kaminspitze and reached its peak before falling 1000 ft to his death. He died doing what he loved doing - hiking the Alps.
He is survived by his parents and two brothers, Tom and Nick, and many other close relatives and friends.
In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting donations be made to Rene and Jim Mueller for the Mikey Mueller Austrian Memorial Bench Fund, 3206 Hartnett Blvd, Isle of Palms, SC 29451.
