Our family shares the sadness you are feeling. Mike & my brother Bryan were good friends growing up, & "Mikey" was part of our family. Although I am sorry for the many years we missed seeing him, I'm very grateful for the opportunity to have said goodbye. We will keep you in our prayers. The Jurkowski family

There's not another guy like Mike.. My husband Myons best fishing buddy..From his fabulous bread making to his talented wood carving, Mike impressed many memories for us to hold dear for many years. You could always count on Mikes sence of humor to lift your day. I gotta add, Mike kept in contact with me the most, making sure the boys and I were coming along after Myron died. He surprised us with the most amazing fishing video of the both of them. Just know Debbie you had a great guy all your life.. And you were destined!! Catching the bouquet and mike grabbing the garter at our wedding!! Those two are together now.."FISH ON!"..
My deepest heartfelt sympathy my friend
