State Representative Nicole La Ha released the following statement following the passing of Steve ‘Mongo’ McMichael:
“I am deeply saddened by the loss of Steve ‘Mongo’ McMichael. Steve embodied the spirit of resilience, strength, and leadership both on and off the football field. As a Chicago Bears icon, Super Bowl champion, and a cornerstone of the ‘Monsters of the Midway,’ he brought endless pride to our community and represented the very best of Homer Glen.
It was an honor to recognize Steve last year with House Resolution 0910, celebrating his induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. His remarkable career and courageous fight against ALS have left an indelible mark on all who admired him. Steve’s legacy will continue to inspire us as we remember the incredible life he lived.
My thoughts and prayers are with Steve’s family and loved ones as we join together in mourning his passing and honoring his memory.”
Rep. Nicole La Ha proudly serves the people of the 82nd District.
