Michael Thomas Zeimet was born July 27, 1952, the son of Thomas and Goldie (Thimmesch) Zeimet. Upon graduation from St. George High School in Lansing, Mike enlisted in the U.S. Navy, reaching the rank of Chief Petty Officer. He entered the Silent Service (submarine forces). While stationed at the U.S. Naval submarine base in Groton, CT, he met his first wife and the mother of their three sons while traveling to different duty stations around the country.

Mike had a great passion for the outdoors. His love of hunting, fishing, hiking, and camping lives on in his sons. In Mike’s later years, he enjoyed these activities with his beloved “Brown Dog”.

He was preceded in death by both his parents and grandparents; a sister, Leonette Zeimet; a nephew, Charles Baker; a great-nephew, Logan Zeimet; and his second wife, Cindy.

Mike is survived by his three sons, Patrick, Thomas and James, and a grandson and granddaughter, all in Connecticut; a special niece, Melissa, of Iowa; two sisters, Bonnie and Patricia, both of New Albin; and many relatives across the country.
