Michael Kaminsky, 55, of Oak Hill, VA died Saturday, August 5, 2023 after a two-year battle with ALS.
Born September 7, 1967 in Cheverly, MD, he was the only son of Yaroslav and Barbara (Chaimson) Kaminsky of Oak Hill, VA.
"Mike" was a fun-loving, big-hearted guy who was devoted to his family and had hundreds of friends who truly loved him. His sisters looked up to him as a hero and guiding force for the family and were dedicated to his care over the past year.
Mike loved meeting friends at the beach, seeing live concerts, and going snowboarding. There is nothing he wouldn't do for a friend or loved one-from fixing your car and helping you move-to listening to a problem and traveling to visit you.
He was also a talented drummer for several local bands including Mr. Nice Guy, Liquid Therapy, Karma Elektra, Dance Manifesto, Ruckus, and Blackout Brigade. Plus he was a member of St. Nicholas Orthodox Cathedral in DC and held strong faith in the Lord.
Mike was known for being a highly logical and methodical thinker. He graduated from Virginia Tech with degrees in electrical engineering and computer science and worked as a computer scientist with several federal contractors. He approached every problem in work as well as life with passion, focus and intensity.
He is survived by a large, loving family including his parents, sisters Alexandra Babbitt (Thomas) of Virginia Beach, Katherine Kaminsky of Oak Hill, VA, and Natalie Watson (Mark) of Stephens City, VA, along with nephew Christopher Babbitt and nieces, Nicole Babbitt and Marina Watson.
Relatives and friends are welcome to visit between 10:00-11 a.m. Saturday, August 12, 2023 at St. Philip Orthodox Church, 1970 Clearview Rd., Souderton, PA followed by the Funeral Service at 11:00 a.m. Burial will be in the adjacent church cemetery.
Arrangements are by the Huff & Lakjer Funeral Home, Lansdale, PA.

Mike and I instantly became close friends from the time we first met at the Hollywood house. We often rode together to Dewey in his cherished Yukon with all of its flaws. Sometimes no AC and sometimes no tail lights but we always made it! What a true friend I had in him. He always had a listening ear and I knew all of my secrets were safe with him because he was so loyal and trustworthy. He truly cherished his family, friends and animals. My heart is broken but filled with all of the memories we shared from the first stamp on his passport to Croatia, beach weekends, band shows, concerts, Halloween parties, and Arlington outings. I know that I am a better person for knowing him and treasure the times we had together.

They say you don't always remember what people say or what they do, but you always remember how they made you feel. Without a doubt, Mike made everyone he met feel welcomed and special! He accepted us as we are and welcomed us whole heartedly into his world. And what an amazing world it was, beach and ski house shenanigans, over the top Halloween and July 4th parties (that are still talked about years later), band gigs all over the area, hiking trips, visiting wineries and spa getaways. So many great memories to hold on to, though nothing replaces having him here. He was truly one of kind and I will miss him with all my heart. Gone far too soon, RIP Mike

Mike was an amazing friend and we were all lucky to have known him and have him in our lives. Our loss of Mike hurts deeply, but we cannot forget the wonderful times we shared, and hope to have again someday with him. Rest easy, Kaminsky.

What a great friend he was! Came to help us unload a UHaul in the cold sleet & rain ... he was always there to help anyone he could. I'll always remember singing with him ( though he knew all the lyrics and I always messed them up. ) My Mother loved him like a son. Our sincerest condolences to the Kaminsky Family. God took him way too soon, but his pain is gone.
