Michael Joseph Stack

I just learned of Michael's passing yesterday and it came as quite a blow. Michael had a very happy life here in Danville with a great number of friends who loved to see his smiling face. He was a daily fixture at the Blackhawk Starbucks working on behalf of his clients or working on his screenplay.

For me, we had been friends and, then, this past Valentine's day something more. I wish I could have been notified about the funeral, but Michael's phone had been dropped and broken, so...

I was so stunned and extremely saddened to hear about Mike's passing. He's been a true and dedicated friend to me for over 30 years. Although the past few days were difficult and filled with sorrow and tears, memories of Michael brought smiles and comfort as well. When speaking yesterday at Mike's service, John, Paul and Bob thought it was tough to express adequately who Mike was and is to all of us but they did an incredible job of encapsulating his life, decade by decade.. Smiling through...

I am very sorry to hear of the loss of our friend and classmate Mike Stack. Upon hearing the news I immediately recollected his friendly smile in the halls of S.I. Mike and his family are in my prayers. God Bless.

Mike was my friend, my brother and my neighbor. I have been hearing his sweet and infectious laugh throughout the last week. Sometimes it made me laugh along with him, others I cried along side of him. Mike had an inate way of making you feel like the most important person in the room as he listened intentively as if nothing else mattered at that moment. I was lucky enough to know Mike since I was 4yrs old. I will be planting a pot of forget-me-nots in Mikes honor. They always come back and...

Dear Joan,

My heart goes out to you and the entire Stack/Mullen Family! I too will always remember Mike's beautiful smile! You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Much love,

Kathy Drucker

Michael always had a great smile and a hug anytime I ran into him at the Danville coffee shops. He was always open to talking and was a great listener and a wonderful person. He always offered his time and advice, and was a remarkable and attentive man to speak with. He listened like there wasn't a crowd of people in the room. Not a day will go by that I don't drive through Danville and past a coffee shop, and think of the mornings I walked in the door to see Michael there with warm...

Mike had a razor like memory of our days at OLM; he and I forever debated how many goals our soccer team scored at OLM. He always maintained it was zero (and we played for 5 years!). Mike was the best bunter on our baseball team and usually beat them out as well. My Dad fondly referred to him as our 2nd cleanup hitter.

You will be sorely missed, Mike. Godspeed.

I am so sorry for your loss. I have so many good memories of growing up with Mike. He was my buddy that lived 2 houses down from me. I remember walking to kindergarten with him and we'd exchange wearing each other eye glasses - we both had horrible eyesight! He sure bloomed into a nice looking guy. I will never forget him! He was a big part of my life that I will never forget. I am so sorry that I can't attend his services, my husband has been very ill.

My heartfelt sympathies and sincere regrets go out to the family and friends of Michael J. Stack. Mike and I met briefly about 30 years ago, and ran into each other in 2001. Since 2001,we have talked often, met frequently, and most of all, laughed often. Mike Stack, with his head tilted back and up, in full laughter, is how I will remember him most. His friendship and company will be missed equally.
