Purcell Marian High School Alumni

We join our community in mourning the passing of Mike Leurck, a beloved member of the Purcell and Purcell Marian faculty for 46 years. We pray that God's love and light comfort all who grieve his passing.

Mike served as a Physical Education teacher and coached several sports, but his longest and most cherished tenure was leading the Cavaliers boys basketball program. Through coaching, Mike not only taught the game he loved but also served as a mentor and role model to countless young people.

A visitation will be held at Mihovk-Rosenacker Funeral Home, 5527 Cheviot Road (45247) on Sunday, June 28, 2026, from 3 pm to 6 pm. A Celebration of Life Mass will be held at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, 5361 Dry Ridge Road (45252), on Monday, June 29, 2026, at 11am. Burial will follow at Gate of Heaven Cemetery.

Today, we give thanks for fathers, father figures, mentors, and all who chose to stay engaged, to remain present, and to give more than was easy. We celebrate you and the incredible love, strength, and support you bring to our lives, and we pray that you be given the graces of wisdom, courage, understanding, and forgiveness.

Today, we join communities across our nation in celebrating Juneteenth and commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans, while honoring the enduring pursuit of freedom, justice, and human dignity.

At Purcell Marian, our diverse and vibrant community is one of our greatest strengths. The stories, cultures, and experiences that each member brings enrich our school and help prepare our students to become compassionate leaders in an ever-changing world.

As we celebrate Juneteenth, may we be inspired by the courage of those who came before us, strengthened by our faith, and united in our commitment to creating a more just and hopeful future for all.

Purcell Marian sends our condolences and prayers to the family and friends of Ally Hill.

The Norwood Skyline, alumni-owned by the Misleh family (Kam '73, Mike '79 and Steve '87), will donate 20% of the restaurant's sales for this week, June 8-15, to an established fund that will directly benefit Ally's two children.

We ask that our Cavalier family support the Hill and Misleh families during this devastating time.

Thank you.
