Michael Laszlo Obituary
Mike was born on January 9, 1950, to Bela and Phyllis Laszlo. He was a beloved son, brother, husband, father, grandfather, uncle, cousin, and friend. His kind smile, warm heart, and gentle presence endeared him to everyone he met.
Mike had a lifelong passion for sports, especially watching his children and grandchildren compete. Nothing brought him more pride or joy than cheering them on. One of his greatest joys in life was being a proud "Papa" to his four grandchildren, who will forever carry his love and legacy. Mike was a dedicated employee of West Publishing for many years. After retiring from West Publishing, he continued working at School District 622 as a school bus monitor, where he retired in 2020. He valued hard work, commitment, and the connections he made along the way.
Family and friends were the center of Mike's world. He loved spending time sharing stories, laughter, and memories with those he loved. His legacy lives on through those moments and through the many lives he touched.
Mike was diagnosed with lymphoma three times. He bravely fought and survived in 2016 and again in 2024. Following his final diagnosis on October 30, 2025, he continued to fight with remarkable strength, courage, and the unwavering support of his family. He fought until the very end.
Mike is survived by his wife of 55 years, Krisann; his children, Tara (Dominick) Navarro, Aaron Laszlo, and Jared (Theresa) Laszlo; his cherished grandchildren, Grace, Bauer, Gianna, and Jack Laszlo; his brother, Gregory Laszlo; his sister, Jacqueline Laszlo; his sisters-in-law, Sandra Podratz and Debora (Joseph) Prifrel; along with many nieces, nephews, cousins, dear friends, and his beloved dog, Nika.
Mike's absence leaves a profound void, but his love, strength, and kindness will remain forever in the hearts of those who knew him.
May Mike rest in eternal peace, surrounded by the love of all who cherished him.

Kris and family, I'm so sorry to hear of Mike's passing. Mike was always friendly and nice. He was there and willing to help just when you needed another hand with a yard project. He was a wonderful neighbor. Rest in Peace!

Jared and Theresa, I wanted to tell you how sorry I was to hear about Mike. He was such a great guy so full of energy and always supporting everyone he talked too. I remember the talks we would have after Jared's softball games. I was so happy to be able to meet him and get to know him. Iron Mike will be missed!

From grade school on through high school; I was a classmate of both Mike and Jackie. Mike was always such a reserved, sweet young boy who grew into a good upstanding man. I can still picture them both in our school years and so glad he was at a few reunions over the years. RIP Mike. You should have had far more years os retirement ahead.

So sorry to hear that Mike has passed away. He was always friendly to everyone & uplifting. The Class of 1969 was lucky to have him as a member. I was lucky he was my friend in high school.
