Michael Christopher Romeo
September 16, 1985 – September 24, 2025
Michael Christopher Romeo was born on September 16, 1985 to Christine (Sorensen) and Robert Romeo. On September 24, 2025, Michael perfected his “Irish goodbye” and joined his heavenly family.
Since Michael grew up on the family’s farm near Missouri Valley, Iowa, he was known in childhood as the Mo Valley Monster, Michael matured into the beloved Uncle Mo. He inspired the famous “Uncle Mo Answer Your Phone” ringtone to the delight of his beloved niece and nephews who so enjoyed using him as a human jungle gym at every birthday party, holiday celebration, and family gathering.
Michael was a devoted computer nerd, hunter, and Jenga cheat. He was a fixture at Paulie’s where he practiced his Keno skills while living the Omaha version of Cheers. As a devoted cat dad, Michael spoiled Sid and Sam who will be lovingly cared for by his cousins.
Michael’s kind heart, goofy smiles, and camera avoidance will forever be missed by his family. Michael was preceded in death by his grandparents: Dominic “Don” and Martha (Woodson) Romeo and Dcn. Kurt and Jean (McNamara) Sorensen.
He is survived by parents, Robert (Amy) Romeo and Christine (Patrick) Hamilton; brother, Dominic (Michelle) Romeo; brother, Robert “RJ” (Lauren Spahn) Romeo; sisters, Michelle (Jake West) Romeo, Riviera Romeo; stepsister, Wendy Hamilton; stepsister, Becky (Bryan) Scherbring; nephews: Charlie, Giovanni, William, Rico, and Wyatt; niece, Jocelyn; and his loving aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Please join Michael’s family in celebrating an amazing man who leaves behind an incredible legacy of kindness, unbreakable passcodes, and love.

Michael and I (along with his brother Dom) worked at CoSentry together. He was always the best person to work with. He gave a lot of sarcasm and wit in everything he did, but when it came down to it, he took care of those around him. I am so sorry for your loss. I’m sending all the love and prayers for your comfort.
Deepest sympathy for Christine her family. On the loss of a child, a son, amazing uncle, and super human being. Please take time to grieve and let the rest of us keep the world spinning. You can jump off the wheel of life to heal.
So very sorry to hear of Michael passing. Hugs and love to Bob & Chris & the entire family.
