Michael J. Yancovich

Michael Yancovich, 21, died unexpectedly on Thursday, January 18, 2018. Beloved son of Stan (Sarah) Yancovich and Monica (Pam) Grobler, brother of Katie, step-brother of Charlie and Miriam, grandson of Harold and Bernice, Fred and Shelley, the late Chris and Barbara and the late Jo and Mort, nephew of Matthew (Lynn) and Krista (George), cousin of Brad, Nate, Harrison and Gabrielle. Michael was a true Renaissance man in the body of a young man. He excelled in theater, singing, guitar, piano, art and enjoyed conversation and story sharing with people of all ages. He loved animals and music, embracing bands of all types with a special love for the Beatles. Michael's joy and enormous sense of humor were like no-other. He was comfortable being on a stage from his early roles in middle-school musicals, to high school acappella, to his aspired lifelong passion of stand-up comedy. His empathy, wit and loving heart will never be forgotten. Funeral arrangements are being handled by Burnett-Dane Funeral Home in Libertyville, IL (120 West Park Avenue, Libertyville, IL). Visitation will be Thursday January 25th from 4-8 pm with a Memorial service starting at 7pm. In lieu of flowers, donations would be appreciated to ASPCA, www.aspca.org.
