Michael Yesiolowski Obituary

Mike Yesiolowski, 69, of Willoughby, peacefully entered into eternal rest Jan. 11, 2021. Born July 7, 1951, in Cleveland, Mike grew up in East Cleveland and moved to Willoughby 37 years ago. Known as everyone’s favorite guy, Mike managed to keep his early childhood friends close to him throughout his life while always adding new friends that he cherished along the way. Mike loved to build and fix things, from house remodeling to remote control airplanes, cars and motorcycles. Always quick to lend a helping hand he was always generous, kind, loving and caring. Full of life, he loved to watch and participate in any sport that he could; whether it was baseball, hockey, football, golf, fishing or moto cross racing. If it was a sport he was interested. No matter what adversities life gave him he would rather focus on what blessings he had. He loved to tell stories about his great adventures with his friends throughout his life that always made people laugh. Mike retired from IT at BWXT. He was preceded in death by his parents, Katherine (nee Hudy) and Anthony Yesiolowski. Mike was the husband and best friend of Paula (nee Kucherak) Yesiolowski for 35 years. He also leaves his brother, Mark Yesiolowski; sister, Ramona Montello; many nieces, nephews and people that loved him. Mike believed in Jesus and is now in his care in peace and glory. His final resting place will be at Willoughby Memorial Gardens. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the funeral and graveside service will be private. A memorial service will be set at a later time. In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting donations be made to the McKinley Community Outreach Center. Thank you for the outpouring of love and kindness. In memory of Mike, be kind and love one another. Arrangements are entrusted to McMahon-Coyne-Vitantonio Funeral Homes in Willoughby and Mentor.
