1967 - 2015
A very dear and gentle soul, Michael Douglas ("Spike") Kolpak, 48, of New Britain, CT, while celebrating the holiday surrounded by those who loved him and whose company he cherished and loved himself, left our presence in this world on July 4, 2015, to return to his place in Eternity most...

To a great guy and someone I wish that I had stayed in closer contact with over the years. We were great friends from grammar school through high school and got together a few times over the years since then. Ironically enough, I was just going to reach out to him again when I found out about his passing. Needless to say, I am deeply saddened that he is no longer with us. If anyone in Mike's family remembers me, I would be happy to hear from anyone.
I grew up in East Hartford with him...

It's with a sad heart we say goodbye, but your memory will always make us smile.

I am so sorry for everyone's loss. Mike is one of my cousins and it is so sad to hear that he is no longer with us. Every memory I have with Mike has and always will be seeing him smiling, watching him hang with the family and always enjoying being around him. Even though we didn't see each often in our adult years, I miss him greatly

Mike you were the best. We'll miss you dearly but thank you for the joy, wisdom and love you freely shared. I'll never forget a canoe trip we took from Hurd SP to Haddam Meadows. A bit of a "white knuckler " as we paddled through some heavy boat wakes on the CT River that day. But we made it unscathed and with quite a bit of laughter! I've had a lot of great days on many rivers, but that was one of the best! :). RIP
