Obituary
Michael James Cudahy, 50, life-long resident of Grafton, passed away peacefully, surrounded in love by his family, on Monday, April 14, 2025, at St. Luke's Hospital.
Mike attended Grafton schools, grew up alongside his brother fishing the Milwaukee River, riding bikes & skateboarding with friends, finding a love for golf as well as disc golf, kayaking & also becoming quite a dart shooter! He loved spending time in nature, whether it was at Lime Kiln Park, ice fishing on a nearby lake or trying to land a salmon in the Port Washington marina, his love for the outdoors was a passion! An afternoon nap in a hammock or an evening around a campfire were also some of his favorite things. He was a huge sports fan & loved cheering on the Milwaukee Bucks, WI Badgers, Admirals, Brewers & yes, even the Minnesota Vikings.
Mike is survived by his mother Christine Cudahy, his younger brother Jason & sister-in-law Amanda & niece Felicia (daughter Avery). As well as his grandmother, Valorie Wilde. He also has many loving aunts, uncles, cousins & countless friends who love him & will miss him dearly & incredibly! He is also survived by his father, Thomas Cudahy, and half brother, Josh, of Monico, WI.
The family will be hosting a celebration of life in honor of Mike on Sunday, June 1, 2025, from 11am-3pm, at Lime Kiln Park, 2020 Green Bay Road, Grafton, WI 53024. Please visit www.jelacicfuneralhome.com to send online condolences to the Cudahy Family.
The family would like to extend our deepest gratitude to his caregivers at St. Luke's hospital. We are forever grateful!
