He returned to raise his family and work alongside his dad, Harry and his brother in law Mike Hornak as a funeral director at Feeney-Hornak Mortuaries. Walking people through grief was his super power. He was involved in local politics and loved serving his community. He never knew a stranger and had a knack for making everyone feel special. He was Development Officer at Cathedral High School and following that he worked in development at the Village of Merici. It was his greatest joy helping people give their money away to causes close to his heart. Mike was a founder of the Starfish Initiative where he served on the board of directors. He always kept God first then family then golf. Oh how he loved the game of golf. He had 4 holes-in-one but he was most proud of his talented wife, his children, and his nine grandchildren. Mike was the best son, husband, father, brother and friend a person could ask for. He valued his faith and family above everything and taught by example what it means to be there for each other.
