Michael A. Hack

Michael Anthony Hack, loving father, nurturing grandfather and a pillar to his community, passed away on November 20th, 2023 in Danbury, CT after a short bout with leukemia. Born on March 4th, 1956 in the Bronx, NY, Michael was a remarkable individual whose impact extended far beyond his immediate circle, leaving behind a legacy that serves as a testament to selfless service and unwavering dedication to others.

A man of great pride, Michael answered the call of duty serving in the Armed Forces, where he exemplified courage and commitment while spending time stationed overseas in Germany. Serving with distinction, he not only served his country but also instilled in his family and community the values of sacrifice and loyalty.

Michael’s commitment to service didn’t end with his military career. He continued to give generously of his time and energy to various charitable causes, becoming a pillar of support for those in need. Through his work with the New Heights program as part of Catholic Charities of Fairfield County, he embodied the spirit of compassion and generosity while also providing a strong dose of historical trivia to anyone within earshot on Saturdays.

Nobody was more fortunate to receive the lion’s share of Michael’s love, wisdom, and guidance than his family - son Matthew and his wife Stephanie, and especially his granddaughters Logan and Eliza. In giving them all of his time and energy to the very end, he created a legacy of warmth and unity that will endure through generations.

In his memory, let us not only mourn the loss of a remarkable individual but celebrate a life well-lived. Michael leaves behind a legacy of service, love, and resilience—a beacon that will continue to inspire us all. May his soul rest in peace, knowing that his impact on the world will forever be etched in the hearts of those he touched.

Friends will be received from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM on Sunday, December 3rd at Green Funeral Home, 57 Main St., Danbury, CT.
