Mike was born on April 10, 1960, to Otto and Inez (Kohlhoff) Paetznick in Saint Cloud, MN. He was an avid member of Grace United Methodist Church, where he enjoyed participating in domino game nights and movie nights-especially those featuring his favorite genre, comedy.
For over 30 years, Mike owned and operated Mike's Small Engine Repair, serving the local community. After retiring from the repair business, he continued to stay active by driving for Good Guys, and later alongside his good friend, Gene.
Mike especially loved collecting nickels and antique coins, always searching for unique finds. One of his favorite family traditions was attending car races in Alexandria, MN, and Cedar Lake, WI; something they will miss doing together.
