Michael John Srnec found his peace with his family at his side on Wednesday, April 3rd, 2024, age 63. Beloved husband and best friend of Jill (Hynek) Srnec for 31 years. Loving dad of Mitchell (Morgan) Srnec and Jenna Srnec. Grandpa and guardian angel of Adeline Grace Srnec and Tater Tot. Preceded in death by James Srnec, Barbara Meiling and Gary Hynek. Further loved by many other relatives and friends.

His family was his greatest joy. They gave him strength during the rough times and laughter and joy all the time. He was so proud of his kids, and they will hold dear the stories they will be privileged to tell of their charismatic, loving father.

Mike graduated as valedictorian from Cudahy High School in 1978. He went on to earn a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from the University of Wisconsin Whitewater. He worked for Air Wisconsin before his 32-year career at Avis Budget Group. In those 32 years, he gained the respect and friendship of coworkers and many in the industry. He was always willing to jump in and help with his knowledge and a smile. He also owned a few businesses along the way. Mike loved reading, sudoku puzzles, playing golf and watching his favorite Wisconsin sports teams. He was happiest spending his time with family and close friends. Many wonderful memories were made traveling with family and friends.

“May the wings of heaven blow softly and whisper in your ear how much we love and miss you and wish you were here.”

Thank you to the staff at Froedtert Hospital and Zilber Hospice. We are so grateful for the care and compassion we were shown on this journey.

A wonderful human being who had the incredible ability to touch so many lives. The kindest person I have ever known. I am very grateful to have known Mike for 23 years. Worked side by side for 17 years. ABG won't be the same without you. Rest my dear friend.

Condolences to the Mike's family during this difficult time. He was a good and beautiful person. May your heart be filled with wonderful memories. Accenture Family.

Mike, although not by birth, you were the only brother I ever had. We shared some good times together and I will never forget your unique ability to make people around you smile. You were an earthly gift from God, may God now cradle you in his arms. Till we meet again, rest in peace.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Mike always had good things to say. A positive, smart, highly accomplished role model. Very fortunate to have known him. His spirit will remain and inspire.

Our deepest condolences. Mike was an amazing colleague and always up for a good laugh when working on accounts with him. A fun person and full of character. I will miss him deeply and wish his family lots of strength in those hard times.

I am so sorry we are unable to attend. My memories of growing up with Mike and our adventures on the farm will always bring me joy and keep him alive in me.

Jill and family, we are so sorry to hear about Mike. Wishing you comfort and peace during this time.

Dear Scernc Family, We are absolutely devastated with the news of Mikes passing. We have not seen him in a while but his smile was always bright. He had an amazing family We worked with Mike in the Air Wisconsin days at the airport. Jim at Air Wis. and me next door at Northwest. We would all meet on Mondays for a beer after work. And started the Monday nights get club. We all have nicknames. And when Mike went to Avis we named him Trader. Fun times with wonderful memories Prayers to you all. And what a void this is in all our lives

We are devastated hearing of the passing of such a wonderful friend

Our deepest condolences to your family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. May the beautiful memories bring you comfort and peace.

Missing you my friend.

Jill and family, the beauty of FB is for just such things as this. I enjoy seeing your posts over the years and lightly keeping in touch. I was so very sorry to hear of your loss. My heart aches for you and I will pray for peace in your life soon.

I was Mikes customer here at Zebra Technologies and work with him for several year. I knew him only through work, but quickly realized he was a trustworthy person, who had a great personality and attitude toward life. I will defiantly miss our conversations. RIP.

I worked in FWA,ORD,DEN for Air Willy 20 years and knew Mike just about that long He was always positive with a smile. He will be missed

Hearing that Mike has passed, has left me, his pal, aghast. My high school best of friends, fond memories of you will last. School dances, parties, and games, chasing girls, sports, and fame. Class valedictorian/Swim captain, 15 year old drivers, in fog and rain. Your big old smile and laughs galore, made those years so happy, to me and more. You will never be forgotten my buddy, my friend. Mikey and Tommy forever, a close friendship, never to end. RIP

Sending Mike’s family and friends my deepest condolences. It was such a pleasure to work with Mike at ABG. He was a remarkable Sales Sales Manager but an even better human being. He will be missed.

Jill and family, we are deeply saddened to hear the news about Mike. We hope that the cherished memories you made together will serve as a source of comfort. Strength, peace and love to you all. Chris and Leatha Marks

RIP sweet nephew. You are now with your mom and dad. Love you...

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Aunt Gerri

You are a wonderful man. Always cordial and friendly.

A while back I asked Mike for a memory of our grandma's house. He replied, everyone standing in the front yard waving at whoever was leaving until they were out of sight. Here's to you, my dear cousin

I graduated high school with Mike and he was always the most friendliest guy. Lots of memories hanging out with him and so sorry to hear of his passing.

So very sorry to hear this. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

With my deepest sympathy!

Respect & friendship says it best about Mike. I was lucky enough to work w/ him @ Avis. He was always, always there to help in anyway he could. Such a dedicated man to Avis. I was lucky enough to be invited to go along to meetings & networking w/ him. I learned a lot from him. But most of his qualities which were many, could not be learned because it came from within. Naturally. Cool, professional, kind, always a smile when he would stop by the Avis in Libertyville. He will be missed, I will always smile when I think of him. I thought so highly of you Mike. May you Rest In Peace.

It was an honor to call you my friend. I will miss the talks, laughter and memories we made. My condolences to all who knew him . A friend that will live in my memories forever.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.

Michael John Srnec
