Mike Schwuchow, age 57, a resident of Pleasant Prairie, went to be with the Lord on November 26 after battling a long illness. He was born in Waukegan IL in 1961. Mike lived in Kenosha most of his life. He graduated from Tremper High School in 1979. Mike was an avid roofer who owned his own business (Mike’s Roofing). He was a skilled roofer who enjoyed helping other people. He loved the outdoors. Two of his favorite things were hunting and fishing.
He is survived by his son, Timothy (Josie) Schwuchow of Beach Park IL, two granddaughters and one grandson of Beach Park IL; his mother Judy of Pleasant Prairie; two sisters, Tammie (Jim) Stephens of Coulee City WA; Linda (Jim) Storey of Kenosha; and four nieces.
He was preceded in death by his father, William L. Schwuchow and brother, William W. Schwuchow.
Mike’s favorite saying was, “Jesus first, Cubs second”.
Tammie Stephens says:
So glad you are not in pain anymore sweet brother. I have so many memories of you. You were such a good little boy and had a smile that would melt hearts. You were my favorite Rook partner. I enjoyed our talks and you never failed to tell us that you loved us. We love you and are so glad that you are in heaven, pain free with our Dad and brother.

To Michael’s family and friends, please accept my heartfelt condolences on your loss. I have found comfort in reading Job 14:14,15 where it shows that Jehovah God yearns to bring back to life the dead who are preserved in his memory. The Bible gives us a wonderful hope of living in a paradise on earth and seeing the resurrection of our dead loved ones. (Luke 23:43; John 5:28,29) May this bring you some comfort and strength as well, remembering that soon God will wipe away our tears and swallow up death forever.
