Michael Francis Szurpicki
St. Clair - Michael Francis Szurpicki, age 48, passed away on July 29, 2019 in Macedonia after a four year battle with multiple myeloma. His wife of 13 years, Mirjana Miseva was by his side. They were married in Kavadarci, Macedonia in 2006 and in Michigan. He is survived by his parents, John and Ann (Ozar) Szurpicki, four sisters; Tamara (Dan) Smith, Katherine (Jeffery) Hill, Deborah (Chris) Anderson, Ann (Mike) Myziuk, a brother John (Holly) Szurpicki, along with sixteen nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by sister, Christina Shell.
Michael attended Berkley High School and held several skilled jobs before realizing his dream of becoming a long distance truck operator. He and his wife lived in their home in Chesterfield Township for several years. He enjoyed jigsaw puzzles, bridge, woodworking, his two dogs, fixing almost anything, and connecting with friends on Facebook.
His remains have been cremated according to his wishes and a memorial mass will be scheduled at a later date.
His love of animals suggests that memorial tributes should be directed to the Michigan Humane Society which he and his wife supported.

Mike was my brother on the road. I am deeply saddened at his loss, and my heart is heavy for his wife and family. Mirjana and their dogs were everything to him. Despite the pain in his last days, they gave him purpose to live every day as if he was going to be around for many more years. I last spoke to Mike 10 days before his passing.
I wish I could trade places with you. We were as close as brothers could be, and I would've given anything to give you the time I have left because you lived life fearlessly! I miss you every day! You may be gone, but you will never be forgotten!

I was a coworker with Mike when he was only 15 years old. We both worked at Royal Crest Woven Woods in Oak Park. Everyone loved him there and he was such a dedicated employee and so much fun to work with. I will always remember his smile. I have no words that can convey my sorrow for his loss. I will not forget you Mike. Rest in peace my friend.
