It is with heavy hearts that we share the sudden and tragic loss of Michael Kottke, who passed away at just 24 years old due to a tragic hunting accident.

Michael was full of life, laughter, and those silly, off-the-wall comments that could make anyone smile. He had a way of lighting up every room he walked into and never missed a chance to make people laugh. His humor and big heart will be deeply missed.

He leaves behind his loving wife, Lexi, and their beautiful 5-month-old son, Maddox. Our hearts ache for them as they face a future without the man who meant the world to them.

We are setting up this GoFundMe to help cover funeral expenses and provide support for Lexi and Maddox during this unimaginable time. Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference and help us honor Michael’s memory while easing the burden on his young family. All funds will be gifted to Lexi and Maddox to cover expenses during this difficult time.

Thank you for your love, prayers, and support. Please keep Michael’s family in your thoughts as they navigate this heartbreaking time.

Michael was our beloved brother, who passed at such a young age.
