Michael Borsig Kuriger, born March 15, 1948, to Joseph and Barbara Kuriger, passed away on January 16, 2026, at home, surrounded by love, with his daughter and his beloved dogs by his side.

Mike was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 50 years, Brenda Holmes Kuriger, whose memory he carried with him always.

He is survived by his daughter, Heather Michelle Kuriger, who was the pride and joy of his life, as well as his beloved godchildren, Richie Kuriger, Grace Cadiere, and Alyssa Rayborn.

Mike grew up in Jackson, Mississippi, and later made his home in Rankin County, Mississippi, where he lived and retired. Michael was a faithful member of St. Paul Catholic Church in Flowood, where his faith was an important part of his life.

Outside of work, Mike found his greatest happiness on the water. He deeply enjoyed fishing with his brothers, brother-in-law, nephew, and friends, where camaraderie and a shared love of the outdoors brought him lasting friendships and cherished memories.
