Michael's obituary
In Loving Memory of Michael Koslowski
December 16, 1947 – May 18, 2025
Michael Koslowski, 77, of Oshkosh, Wisconsin, went home to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ on May 18, 2025.
Born on December 16, 1947, in Neenah, Wisconsin, Michael dedicated his life to education, family, and faith. A proud graduate of the University of Wisconsin–Stout, he went on to earn his master’s degree and spent his career as a teacher in the Oshkosh Area School District, where he taught Industrial Technology and Driver’s Education. His work left a lasting impression on generations of students, instilling in them practical skills, confidence, and lifelong lessons.
Michael was a devoted husband to Mary (Anders) Koslowski, and a loving father to Tanya, Jered, Terra, and Lisa. He is also survived by his sister Judy, who shared a deep and lasting bond with him throughout their lives.
A man of steadfast faith, Michael was an active member of New Life Community Church, where he found strength, community, and purpose. Michael was an avid sports fan. He grew up watching in his uncle, Dave Koslo, pitch for the New York Giants, but later his loyalty was to his favorite Wisconsin teams—the Green Bay Packers, Milwaukee Brewers, Milwaukee Bucks, and Wisconsin Badgers. When he wasn’t teaching, he spent countless hours as a volunteer driving instructor for World Relief and coordinating rides for missionary pilots during EAA with MASA.
Michael’s kindness, quiet strength, and sense of humor will be missed by all who knew him.
A Celebration of Life Service will be held on Saturday, June 14th, 2025, at 10:00 AM followed by a reception at MillCity Church Oshkosh (formerly New Life Community Church), 3250 W 9th Ave, Oshkosh, WI 54904.
