Karl Martin Zielinski

Karl Martin Zielinski, age 39 of Marine City, passed away unexpectedly on May 19, 2023.
He was born on January 25, 1984 in Roseville.
Karl was the light of many lives. He had the sweetest heart and the kindest soul. His passion was playing his guitar, which he was inspired to play from his uncle Mark. Karl was a hard worker, completing school and becoming a roofer for most of his working career, and recently completing all his schooling for Carpentry. Karl also loved music, his family, and his dogs. Family was a big part of Karl's life whether it was fishing with his father, running across the street to his aunt Silvia and uncle Mark's or going up north with the whole family, he had special bonds with each and every one of them. His mom was his best friend and his safe place. Karl will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
