In loving memory of Michael Anthony Nikonowicz. Born February 6, 1962 IN St. Louis, Mo. And passed away February 14, 2026 peacefully in his sleep.

Many nieces and nephews, great nieces and nephews.

Proceeded In death by brother David A Broyles.

You truly had to know Michael to love him. He was one of a kind for sure. He will be greatly missed and forever remembered by all that knew him. He enjoyed his church family at Grace Baptist and shares the word of God every opportunity. He shared a special bond with his 2 cats Ellie Mae and Michael. He had a natural given talent for art/drawing. It wouldn't be unusual finding him helping others in need whether it be landscaping or handyman work. Simple acts of kindness always. Donations can be made to Mental Health organization in lieu of flowers.
