Obituary
Mr. Michael R. Kotecki of Avondale, Arizona died unexpectedly September 25, 2022 at the age of 73. He was born August 26, 1949 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to Leonard Kotecki and Gloria Kotecki (Frankiewicz).
Michael was raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He graduated from Bradley Tech High School and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Later in life, he moved to Arizona to get away from the cold and became a resident of Avondale for over 20 years. Michael felt it was important to volunteer with his church. He was an usher for many years at his congregation. In his free time, he rooted for his home teams: the Greenbay Packers, Milwaukee Brewers, and Arizona Diamondbacks. He also loved to attend the NASCAR races twice a year with his son and golfing with his friends and family.
He was preceded in death by his father, Leonard A. Kotecki. Michael is survived by his daughter Kelly Kotecki Escorcia (Cesar), son, James Kotecki, mother, Gloria E. Kotecki, sister, AnnMarie (Michael) Naddeo, and brothers, Raymond (Susan) Kotecki, and Stephen Kotecki. He is also survived by one grandchild, Cameron (Addison) Drake and many other nieces, nephews, family and friends.

So sorry to hear about Michaels passing. As a child we were very close cousins. We haven’t seen each other in what seems like forever, but we talked at least once a year until the past few years. My love and prayers go out to his children and his brothers and sister. Also to his loving mother. May God put His loving arms around all, as you say good bye . With Love, Sharon Sherwood Sweat

Mike taught me how to line soccer fields when he was a board member of the Whitefish Bay soccer club back in Wisconsin. A great guy with a good sense of humor; fun to be around. Sorry to know of his sudden passing. Blessings to Mike’s family and friends.
