Michael “Mike” Allen Savina, age 68 of Stanley, Wisconsin, passed away peacefully on April 26, 2024 at the Wausau Aspirus Hospital with his family by his side.
Mike was born on February 23, 1956 at Victory Memorial Hospital in Stanley, WI to Vincent and Norma (Ebben) Savina. Mike graduated from Stanley-Boyd High School in 1974 and worked for Pisarski Construction until he was employed by the City of Stanley for 35 years. He also served on the Stanley Fire Department for 10 years.
On October 7, 1978, Mike married his love, Debra Shilts and they were blessed with 2 children, Matthew and Megan. His family meant everything to him, and he cherished every moment spent with them.
One of Mike’s greatest passions was the outdoors. He loved fishing and hunting of all sorts where he could make memories with family and friends. Mike was also an avid Brewer and Packer fan and loved watching them out in the garage when the weather was nice. In addition to his passion for family, fishing, hunting, and sports, Mike loved camaraderie and celebrating life’s moments, big or small. He was the life of the party, with a contagious laugh and a knack for storytelling that could captivate a room. He touched the lives of all who knew him and will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and community.
He is survived by his wife of 45 years, Debra Savina, 2 children Matthew (Gretchen) Savina of Rice Lake, WI and Megan (Dennis) LaMarche of Thorp, WI, 2 grandchildren Brea LaMarche and Bennett LaMarche, 2 brothers Bill Savina and Jim (Ardy) Savina, and 3 brothers-in-law Richard (Karen) Shilts, Lee Shilts, and Steven Shilts.
Mike is preceded in death by his parents Vincent and Norma Savina, his sister, Mary Kay Henderson, parents-in-law Richard and Beatrice Shilts, brother-in-law Gerald Henderson, 2 sisters-in-law Margaret Shilts and Sharon Savina, niece Denise Savina, and great friend Gary Gilberts.
