I was devastated to learn of Mike's passing, and even more so that the services need to be private. I loved my cousin and wish I could be there to say goodbye and to remember him with the rest of the family. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you all as you mourn Mike. He was a great man and loved by many!

Dear Nan, Karen, Becky, Chris and Jenkinson and Lee Families, We were so extremely sad to learn of Mike's passing due to this terrible virus. He was INDEED a favorite brother-in-law, the person we chose to be our son's Godfather, and just truly a good, kind, fun, wonderful man, with an infectious laugh, who one enjoyed being around. We will surely miss our getaways together and enjoying card games, especially Sequence, and Mike's competitive spirit. May God keep you in His care and continually bless each of you with many wonderful memories of time spent with Mike. Love, Den & Nan

Many fond memories of being a “band buddy “ with Mike in high school. Truly a great guy! God’s blessings to your family Mike as they grieve. May you Rest In Peace!

Mike was a "true blue" all around nice guy who made me feel welcome into the Kilsdonk/Lee clan. He always had a kind word and amile on his face and was always willing to go out of his way, often traveling to Milwaukee, to see us when we were in Wisconsin. On behalf of the Shannon clan, i send my deepest condolences to Nancy, Karen, Becky and all of Mike's grieving family and friends.

So sorry to hear the sad news. We have many fond memories of many years working with Mike at Morgan's and will also miss seeing and hearing him playing with the Oshkosh Community Band. Because we are isolating, we can not share our condolences in person.

This is one of those times where "Life Just Isn't Fair". Mike was a friend of mine from Fox Valley Tech. When he told me that he wanted to date my sister Nan, I trusted Mike. When he told me he was going to propose to her I knew he would be a great husband. When they got married I knew he would be a great dad. And, he still is a great friend, husband, dad, grandpa, brother, etc. Mike we will all miss you always! Forever in our hearts and memories. Love ya, Ron

Thoughts and prayers to YOUR FAMILY. Mike was truly the NICEST guy ALWAYS. I remember many smiles shared with him in High School..and when I would randomly see him when he played with the community band. Its so hard to believe .. I just think we all need to hold on to everyday and share the same smile MIKE ..always had. GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU!

I am so very sorry for your loss of Mike, and all the ways you feel his absence. I hope it comforts you to know that so many others in your mutual family and community are grieving his passing along with you. I grew up with Mike as a sweet, quiet, smiling and caring cousin and friend, in family gatherings, school and 4-H activities. I was always proud that Mike was my cousin, because of his loving and kind nature. I was also proud that we were cousins in high school, because of his caring and kindness, humility, and smiling, generous, loving personality. I’ve always enjoyed talking with him at reunions and chance meetings over the years, hearing about his success and happiness in life. He’s always been known for being caring, kind, optimistic, intelligent, and loving. Along with you, I’ll miss his smiling face and kindness here with us. But we can continue to carry his loving spirit in our hearts and memories, until we’re reunited. My prayers are with you all. May you feel God’s love and comfort in the days ahead.

Sympathy to all. So very sorry for your loss. Mike helped me so. One day I was pounding and there he stood. He asked if I needed help. I said he could supervise my work. I will miss, Mike. He helped me burn my stumps too. This won’t be easy. One hour at a time. Thoughts and prayers to you all

It was so hard to hear of Mike's passing. We go way back to the 4-H days of our youth.The class of 70 put off the 50 year reunion slated for this fall in hopes we could safely gather next year. Mike is the third class member we have lost in the wait. Our deepest sympathies to all of you. Mike was a wonderful person.
