Michael Rossa Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Shimon Funeral Home on Feb. 18, 2026.
Michael Allen Rossa, age 62, of West Bend, Wisconsin, passed away on February 15, 2026, at Froedtert Hospital Hospice.

Born on May 16, 1963, in Mountain View, California, Michael was the beloved son of Lucille Dallmann and Gerald Rossa. He graduated from Wauwatosa West High School and went on to work as a plumber for 22 years.

Michael married Sue on June 11, 1988, and together they built a life filled with cherished vacations with friends, time spent swimming, boating, fishing on Big Cedar Lake, and making lasting memories with family. He was known for his kindness and his fun sense of humor that could brighten any room.

Michael enjoyed spending time with Charlie, their beloved dog, as well as fishing, hunting, and relaxing at his land. Michael had fond memories of times spent in Three Lakes.

He is survived by his loving wife, Sue Rossa; his mother, Lucille Dallmann; and his sister, Michelle Rossa; sisters-in-law, Kathi Kusch, Nancy (Wally) Turk, and Mary (Greg) Schmidt; nieces and nephews, Ryan and Andrew Kusch, Amber (Aaron) Gahan, Kyle (Jenna) Turk, Kevin, Jenny, Aaron, and Amy Schmidt.

He was preceded in death by his stepfather, Thomas Dallmann, father, Gerald Rossa, and his dearest niece, Chelsea.

A memorial service will be held on February 24th at Shimon Funeral Home in Hartford. Visitation will take place from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., with the service to follow.

Guests are welcome to dress in casual or camouflage attire in honor of Michael.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to the Froedtert West Bend ICU nursing staff, with a special thank you to Amanda, as well as the compassionate team at Froedtert Hospice.
