Wilbur Kawaski Obituary

Local businessman Wilbur "Will" Kawaski passed away at his family home in Mt. Pleasant, MI, surrounded by loved ones on November 17, 2021, at the age of 94. Will was born to William and Daisy Kawaski on July 9, 1927, in Decatur, IL. After serving in the Navy, Wilbur met his wife Donna Kawaski. The couple eventually settled in Mt. Pleasant, MI, raising two children, Jeff and Kay Ann, while owning and operating the Fashion Corner on Mission St. for 35 years. From pulling pranks with his twin brother, Bill, to hanging out of airplanes for Naval projects to racing cars, Wilbur taught everyone he encountered to live life to the fullest. Will is survived by his wife, Donna, his children, Jeff and Kay Ann, his grandchildren, Aubrey, JT, and Joby, his son-in-law John, and Jeff's fiancée Jodie. The family will host a celebration of his life at Cheers Restaurant in Mt. Pleasant on November 23, 2021, from 4:30-7 p.m. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to MidMichigan Health Foundation. 989-839-1932
