Michael Alan Koontz

In Loving Memory of Mike,

A proud resident of San Diego for 57 years, Mike was a retired aircraft mechanic and inspector whose life was defined by his love for family, creativity, and a deep sense of loyalty. He found joy in simple pleasures—family outings, boating, archery, drawing, True Crime podcasts, knife throwing, and relaxing with Netflix. Mike was a kind, caring, generous, sweet, inspiring, funny soul as well as being an overall wonderful person always ready with a warm smile and a quick wit.

Gifted with both talent and imagination, Mike brought passion to everything he did; he was not only a devoted husband, father, son, brother, uncle, and friend—but also a man of unwavering integrity and love.

Mike is survived by his beloved wife, Kathryn, and his two cherished children, Jacob and Isabella. His legacy also lives on through his extended family and many friends, all of whom were touched by his generous spirit.

May he forever live in our hearts.

A celebration of life gathering will be held at 94th Aero Squadron , 8885 Balboa Ave, San Diego, CA 92123, August 14th 2025 from 5pm. There will be a memory jar for you to share your fondest memories of Mike.
