Michael Dean Rossow was born on October 7, 1958 to Leon and Arlene (Muse) Rossow in El Paso, Texas. As a kid Mike enjoyed playing baseball, fishing in the summer at the cabin, and giving his older sisters Linda and Cheryl a hard time. Mike attended Washington high school and joined the military in 1976. After returning from duty, he married Marcia George and had two kids, Monica (1978) and Brian (1985).  Mike divorced and returned to Minnesota in 1995. One of Mike's personal accomplishments was getting his GED in 1996 followed by a technical diploma from Jackson Technical College in 1999.  In this time he began what would be the beginning of a lifelong career at Citibank where he worked the next 18 years holding various positions, with his final role as Operations Assistant...it was more than a job...with many of his superiors and co-workers considered as close friends.

 

Although his personal and professional achievements brought him joy, nothing compared to the happiness that brought him to tears when Mike became a grandfather to Roman Michael Rossow in April, 2015. Video chats with his grandson always made him smile.

 

Mike passed away suddenly on February 3rd 2018 in the presence of those he loved. He was preceded in death by his step-mother Lou, father Leon, and his best friend Patrick. He is survived by his mother Arlene, his sisters Linda, Cheryl, and Misty, his brother Randy, his step-brother Glen, his daughter Monica, his son Brian, Brian's wife Sylvia whom he considered his daughter, his grandson Roman and his closest friend Kathy in addition to many nieces and nephews. He will be missed dearly, and held in all of our hearts forever.
