Michael F. Behringer, loved the beach

Mike Behringer, 62, of Rehoboth Beach, passed away Monday, Dec. 11, 2024, after a courageous battle with cancer. He was born Oct. 19, 1962, in Wilmington, to the late Francis and Helen Behringer.

Mike graduated from Salesianum School and University of Delaware, then went to work for the USPS. He started 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. Before retiring after a dedicated 40-year career, he recently served as postmaster of Ocean View.

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 can be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, stjude.org, for supporting research and aid for families affected by the disease.
