Fezzey

He was the Huntington National Bank regional president who previously served as WJR’s president and general manager. Fezzey was visiting Naples, Florida for work and preparing to return to Michigan when he suffered an apparent heart attack according to WJR’s website. 

Fezzey is being remembered by family and friends for his compassion towards others. 

“Mike Fezzey’s passing is a profound loss not just for our business community, but for our state as a whole. Under Mike’s direction, Huntington Bank was a partner in Michigan’s reinvention. A proud Detroit native, Mike was devoted to the city and the region, taking part in a variety of programs aimed at assisting people and businesses. Huntington was instrumental in partnering with the state to develop a microlending program that helped businesses grow and create more and better jobs. And when Southeast Michigan was struck by historic flooding last year, Mike and Huntington were there, stepping up to help devastated families rebuild. Outside of work, Mike was active in a number of charities and programs dedicated to helping children and families. He cared,” Gov. Rick Synder said.
