Michael J. Zuiker

Michael J. Zuiker, a beloved son, brother, fiancé, and father, passed away on August 26, 2026, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and adventure. Born on November 23, 1993, in Marshfield, Mike brought warmth and joy to all who knew him.

Mike was the cherished son of Larry and Darla Zuiker, who nurtured his adventurous spirit. He is survived by his loving fiancé, Adalia Jankowski, with whom he shared countless cherished moments, and supported his unwavering passion for life, and his beloved son, Miles, who was the light of his life. His siblings, Jennifer (Brent) Mattson, Matthew (Stephanie) Zuiker, and his twin brother, Joseph (Taylor) Zuiker, will forever hold him in their hearts. Mike was also a proud uncle to his nephews, Oliver and Jack Zuiker.

A man of many interests, Mike found joy in the great outdoors. Whether it was golfing, hunting, kayaking, or playing disc golf, he embraced every opportunity to savor the beauty of nature. His love for golf went beyond just playing; he took great pleasure in organizing golf outings and meticulously keeping track of handicaps, ensuring everything was just right. Hunting trips out west with his mother, brother, and brother-in-law were among his most treasured experiences. Mike's unique approach to fishing, showing up late to join in the fun with family, spoke volumes about his desire to simply be present with loved ones.

Mike's love for adventure was matched only by his meticulous nature. He was known for his attention to detail, ensuring that everything, including his outfits, were perfectly coordinated. His playful banter with his brothers and deep, meaningful conversations with his sister highlighted the bonds he cherished most. On the golf course, he relished the camaraderie shared with friends, creating memories that will be cherished forever.

Preceded in death by his dear aunts, Kimberly Zuiker and Karen Peterman (Zuiker), Mike's spirit lives on in the hearts of his family and friends. His zest for life and love for family adventures leave an indelible mark on those fortunate enough to have known him.
