Michael S. Smerek

Michael (Mick) Smerek, born December 1, 1967, will be remembered as a devoted husband, loving father, cherished son and brother, beloved bonus dad, uncle, mentor, and loyal friend. Above all, Mick was a family man who loved his family with his whole heart. He was a protector, a source of strength, and someone whose love and generosity extended to everyone fortunate enough to know him.

Mick shared a special bond with his beloved wife, Jennifer, and was a proud father to Laura and Christopher. He also held a special place in his heart for his beloved bonus son, Nicholas. Mick’s love for his family went beyond titles and labels. He loved deeply, cared fiercely, and treasured the people who made his life meaningful.

Those who knew Mick will remember his devotion, sense of humor, and ability to bring laughter to the lives of those around him. He was a loyal friend, a natural protector, and a mentor to many. He shared his knowledge, offered guidance, and made a lasting impression on everyone whose life he touched. His influence extended beyond his family, leaving a meaningful mark on friends and all those who looked up to him.

Mick took great pride in the things he loved. Whether enjoying a round of golf, following his favorite sports, watching baseball, detailing cars, or meticulously maintaining his lawn, he found joy in the activities that mattered to him. He appreciated hard work, attention to detail, and taking pride in all he did. These simple pleasures reflected the man he was: someone who cared deeply and valued the things that brought meaning to his life.

Mick is survived by his beloved wife, Jennifer; his children, Laura and Christopher; his mother, Carol; his sister, Sara; his brother, Stephen (Bob) , and Bob’s wife, Michele.

He was preceded in death by his father, Stephen; his brother, John; his sister, Mindy; his brother-in-law, Greg; and his beloved bonus son, Nicholas. 🦋

Mick’s life was defined by his love, loyalty, humor, and unwavering devotion to his family. He cherished his wife, loved his children, honored his family, and valued his friendships. He was a protector, a mentor, and someone who made others feel that they mattered. His heart was big enough to embrace everyone he held dear, and his absence leaves a profound void in the lives of all who loved him.

Although Mick is no longer physically with us, the love he gave, the wisdom he shared, and the memories he created will live on through his wife, children, mother, siblings, extended family, friends, and everyone whose life he touched.

Mick will be remembered for the love he gave, the laughter he shared, the lives he guided, and the family he cherished above all else. He was deeply loved, and he will never be forgotten.
