Michael Sepanski Obituary
Michael John Sepanski, age 64 of Toledo, Ohio passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, June 24, 2017, from a Pulmonary Embolism. Mike was very healthy and looking forward to retirement when he turned 65. He wasn't sick, no ailments, just went peacefully.
Mike was born February 6, 1953, to John and Rita Sepanski. Mike owned ABC Seamless Siding of Toledo, Ohio and Bath Planet of Toledo, Ohio and Canton, Michigan. He was an avid golfer, loved to grill and smoke meat and watch his family and friends enjoy the food he prepared. He also loved attending the PRCUA Club, loved boating and his white Duster in his early years. Mike would have loved this past weekend with the annual Shoreland fireworks family party, watching the bald eagles, hitting golf balls with Bailey chasing the balls and a tee time with friends. Mike married his loving wife, Deborah M. (Ryan) Sepanski in 1975, married 42 years, and enjoyed 48 years together before his death. They were high school sweethearts of Calvin M. Woodward High School where he graduated in 1971. They had such a loving relationship that many would have envied. His other love of his life was his English Springer Spaniel Bailey, who already knows he is gone and misses him terribly. Left to cherish Mike's memory with broken hearts are his wife Debbie; their dog Bailey; and best friends, sisters, Barbara (George) Buder and Marge (Joe) Blaze II, and best friends, brothers, Jay (Linda) Sepanski and Louis (Rochelle) Sepanski; sisters and brothers-in-law, Karen (Dave) Taulbee, Ron (Mary) Ryan, Dave Ryan, Sandy (Izzy) Quiroga, Kathy (John) McCarthy, Tim (Julie) Ryan; and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, John and Rita Sepanski; parents-in-law, Arnold and Gloria Ryan; and grandparents, John and Lucy Wozniak and Michael and Rose Sepanski. Also left to cherish are many dear friends, and his work family. Due to Mike's two hour rule, visitation will be Saturday, July 1, 2017 from 2- 4 p.m. at Sujkowski Funeral Home Northpointe, 114 E. Alexis Rd., with the Funeral Service for Mike beginning at 4 p.m., as Bailey will begin texting. In lieu of flowers, please do an act of kindness for someone. Please share condolences at www.sujkowski.com. You just never know, so always tell your family and friends that you love them today, tomorrow, and always!

Thinking of you at this time of loss. I was a friend of Mike's from grade school at St. Adalbert. His family lived up Manhattan St.from my home. Always such a fun person. Heartfelt sympathy to you.

Picked up the paper and a "face from the past" struck me like a punch right in the ribs. Many years and many good memories came to mind of you and Mike as friends and neighbors.
My condolences and prayers to you and family on your loss of a kind and gentle man!

My dearest condolences to you Deb, and the rest of Mike's family and friends.
Mike and I started working together within 2 weeks of each-other at Ultra Lite Replacement Windows Corp. in 1983.
Mike was always full of fun and had a great sense of humor. He was also very kind to me, and I never saw him be rude or disrespectful to anyone.
I will always have fond memories of Mike, and never forget him.
I'm sure anybody who has ever worked with or for him, will always remember him to be a very fair business man. I sure did.
I feel very fortunate to get together with him one more time when I recently returned from Atlanta.
I will definitely miss your laugh Michael. God love'ya.

"Sap", (to me and a few H.S. friends) sold me and guided me into the real estate market when we were BOTH just out of H.S. !! He was working for a real estae co. and I was working at Chrysler and making a lot of money.
HE MADE ME WHAT I AM !!!
THANK YOU "SAP" !!
HOPE SOMEONE READS THIS, LIKE:
Ronald Graylock (Sticky) Larry Wozinak, Ronnie Rogers, Steve Standering and some others that I forgot their names. And Debbie (his wife). You were ALL such a SMALL part of my life but... man it turned out to be such an IMPORTANT part, yo !!!!!!!!!!! Thank you "Sapo" !! DARN IT !!!!

So sorry to hear this, thoughts & prayers to Deb, Margie, & all the family. I Remember Mike fondly as one of the neighbors growing up across the yard from the Sepankis. They used to let me swim in their pool and I think "Sap" may have babysit me once or more! I remember him as a fun and kind guy.

Good Morning Sir, it's Vince.... 8:00 am almost every morning for the last 2 and a half years I had the pleasure of talking to Mike when we had our morning chat about how appointments and sales were going in his Canton MI office.
There were good days and bad although Mike always stayed positive, gave advice, and had words of support and encouragement that I'll continue to pass on. Of all the people I've worked for in this industry, Mike was the most genuine, caring, and most approachable boss I've ever had. He is and was truly one in a million. Mike, sir, I thank you for all that you did for me personally and I will miss talking to you every morning.... You made me a better person, salesman, and manager ...we will continue to bring you some deals sir... Until the day we meet again .... you will be missed
