Michael "Mike" Bogucke, age 53, of Reno, NV, passed away unexpectedly on August 23, 2025. He was born on November 5, 1971, in Appleton, WI, a son of Alex and Joan (Humphrey) Bogucke.

Mike grew up in Princeton, WI, where he was adopted by very loving parents. After graduating from Princeton High School in 1990, he attended Tech School in Florida and then moved back home to Princeton. Mike married Jennifer Kobaski. They had a baby boy named Aiden. Aiden was Mike's greatest joy, he loved his son so much, he was his world.

Michael had various jobs throughout the years, but there were some that he really enjoyed. He loved working alongside his father building log homes through the family business, Bogucke Log Homes. Mike went back to school to get his CDL, and loved driving, because he could travel, and sightsee.

In his younger years, Mike enjoyed sports. He spent a lot of time on the Fox River fishing. He also enjoyed duck and deer hunting with his father. When Mike moved to the warmer states, he had a love for the beaches and oceans.

Those Mike leaves behind to cherish his memory include his son, Aiden Bogucke, Aiden's mother, Jennifer Bogucke of Oshkosh; sister, Julie (Jeffrey) Bogucke of Princeton; 2 nieces, Amanda Wenzel of Oshkosh and Cheyenne (Luke) Meyer of Princeton; great niece, Ashlynn; great nephew, Hunter; aunts, uncles, many other relatives and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, Alex and Joan Bogucke.
