Michael Banasiewicz Obituary
Michael was born on December 17, 1961, in South Bend, to the late Ronald and Jeanette (Joachim) Banasiewicz.
Left to cherish the memory of Michael is his loving wife, Penny Elliott; daughter, Jaime (Gary); brother, Steve Banasiewicz; sisters, Peggy Banasiewicz-Olmstead, Cindy (Damien) Cruz; and many nieces and nephews.
Michael was born in and grew up in South Bend, Indiana, but lived the last 18 years in Toronto, Canada, with his wife, Penny. He enjoyed all sports, most of all was a Notre Dame fan, a Toronto Maple Leaf fan, and enjoyed NASCAR. Michael also enjoyed Hooters wings, and loved to go to concerts. He was a big autograph hound and made a hobby of it. He adored his dogs Chloe and Lexi.
As Michael goes to join Lexi and his parents, he will be missed dearly by those he leaves behind.

Mike was such a great guy. Always friendly and willing to share his passion of sports. I enjoyed the many occasions we had to obtain autographs together and to talk sports. There was never a time that he didn't also mention Penny and his dogs. Mike, you will be missed.
