Mike had a passion for golf and was an honorary Spartan through and through, proudly cheering, "Go Green, Go White!" He loved music of all kinds, especially country, the Eagles, Queen, and Billy Joel. Some of his favorite moments were spent relaxing around a bonfire with family and friends, enjoying a glass of bourbon or red wine, and an occasional cigar. A devoted sports fan, Mike faithfully cheered on all of Detroit's teams while also remaining a loyal Buffalo Bills fan. He delighted in his grandchildren and cherished watching them grow, taking great pride in the joy they brought to his life. His warm personality, quick smile, and genuine kindness made him a friend to so many. He was deeply loved by all who knew him and truly blessed to have such an incredible circle of family and friends throughout his life.

Visitation will be held on Friday from 4:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m., with a Rosary at 7:00 p.m., at Stanley Turowski Funeral Home, 25509 W. Warren, Dearborn Heights.

Mike will lie in state on Saturday at 9:30 a.m. at the Church of the Divine Child, 1055 Silvery Lane, Dearborn, until the Funeral Mass at 10:00 a.m.
