Michael Tokarski Obituary
Michael's early education started at St. Pancratius Catholic School followed by Kelly High School. He furthered his education at Washburne Trade School. Michael was not only a devoted student but also a passionate individual, who later became the proprietor and entrepreneur of Midwest Laser, INC., a family-owned business renowned for its earth-friendly services. Under his stewardship since 1989, the company flourished, and the legacy is set to continue under the guidance of his spouse, Josephine A. Tokarski.
Michael was a gentle, patient, and kind soul, an amazing husband and father. He was a creative spirit, an artist, and a gardener dedicated to cultivating indigenous plants and flowers. His passion for nature extended to breeding Monarch butterflies, a testament to his love for the environment and its preservation.
He leaves behind his loving wife, Josephine A. Tokarski, his son, Daniel B. Kelly, his daughter, Erin L. Kelly, and his godmother, Claudette Luckey. Michael was preceded in death by his parents, Walter A. Tokarski and Julia A. Tokarski.
Memorial services will be private and reserved for immediate family members only. The family appreciates your understanding during this time and cherishes the support and love shown towards Michael throughout his remarkable life.
