MICHAEL CLIFFORD PURCHATZKE

Michael (Mike) Clifford Purchatzke passed away unexpectedly on June 30, 2023 at the age of 73. He leaves behind his loving mother and father Marion and Loren Purchatzke, siblings Richard Purchatzke, Tom Purchatzke, and Gail (Purchatzke) Duthie, and his children Peter Purchatzke and Michelle (Purchatzke) Nelson. Later in life Mike had developed a love for international travel and had visited almost every European capital, as well as “the land down under”. Mike will be missed for his unwavering willingness to help out with household projects, a bordering on insane attention to detail, a cut to the chase mentality, and of course, his famous beef jerky. His life will be celebrated informally later in the summer.
