Michael Charles Kruzona's Obituary
Michael C. Kruzona “Big Mike”, age 66, passed away October 25, 2024, in Muskegon, Michigan surrounded by his loving family. Mike was born on March 6, 1958, in Muskegon, Michigan, to William and Patricia (Paddock) Kruzona. He married the love of his life, Glenda (Carol) Beck (Whitten), on February 16, 2001, in Muskegon, Michigan. Mike was known for his love of Mopar, he found joy and purpose in his beloved 1969 Dodge Coronet Super Bee. The Super Bee was a reflection of his vibrant spirit and love for the open road. Mike also made sure that Carol shared in the same love of Mopar and purchased her a 1969 Dodge Coronet R/T. On any given sunny day, you could find these two traveling around the countryside together with Mike leading the way. Mike was also a true Detroit Lions fan, he may not have been one to sit down and watch a game as he would keep himself distracted by doing yard work, we all know he was known for his meticulously manicured lawn that he took great pride in, but at any given point you would find him peeking in a window in an attempt to see what the score was. He is survived by his wife, Glenda (Carol) Kruzona; children: Michael (Little Mike ) Kruzona (Synthia Wood): stepdaughter: Shonda (Greg) Walski; 10 Grandchildren: Kelli Whitten, Noah Tozer, Zachary Weinrick, Autumn (Brett) Shine, Angel Whitten, Jarrett Prow, Brook Whitten, Abraham Whitten, Evan Butler; and 12 Great Grandchildren; Aubrielle, Jaxson, Sofia, Bently, Noah Jr. Scarlett, Iisaiah, Meadow, Forrest, Sylus, Leo, and Mila. Mike is preceded in death by his parents: William and Patricia Kruzona; sister: Liz Kruzona and stepson: Kenneth (BA) Whitten. VISITATION will be Friday, November 1, 2024, at 2:00 PM at the Sytsema Chapel with a MEMORIAL SERVICE following at 3:00 PM. Arrangements through the Sytsema Chapel of Sytsema Funeral and Cremation Services, 737 E. Apple Ave., Muskegon, MI., 49442.
