Micheal J. Vitcak AKA "Squeak" died at age 63 on the 29th of January, 2026. Mike was a good man who lived a hard life beginning the day he was born. Despite the struggles with his medical conditions, he had many good years. It was when Bill W. befriended him that he really began to grow, heal, thrive and shine like the sun. Mike had the best years of his life being a husband to Janice and a dad to her children, Antonia, Amanda (Abraham), and Stephen; along with Roxy and Rizzo, their beloved fur babies. He agreed to being a perfectly imperfect human being.
Mike held various jobs during his lifetime and like his father he could fix most anything and like his mom he cooked up big delicious batches of spaghetti sauce. He enjoyed fishing, working on his boat, tinkering on engines, car repairs, home remodeling, baking holiday cookies, and so much more. He was quick with a "Hello", singing a song, to dance, to laugh, and flash that million-mile smile of his, and last but not least, if you wanted to talk day or night, he was there for you. We will miss you, Micheal Joe. You are now truly in God's hands. Rest in peace.
He was survived by his siblings, twin sister, Shelly (Doris), Steve (Kathy), Daniel (Leslie), Kathy; grandchildren; nieces and nephews; great nieces; relatives and friends. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Union Gospel Mission of St. Paul, Minnesota in his memory.
