Michael S Ulanowicz

Mike Ulanowicz, age 57, passed away on March 17, 2026. He was born on August 13, 1968, in Fort Devens, Massachusetts.

Mike grew up with a strong sense of community and adventure. He was a proud member of Boy Scout Troop 329 and a standout stud triathlete for the Stockbridge Panthers. His passion for sports extended into his love for travel baseball, where he spent many years playing throughout the Jackson area.

Above all, Mike was a loving and generous person who deeply cared for his family and friends. He is survived by his devoted wife, Michelle Ulanowicz; stepson Bo (Autumn) Lewis; and his cherished grandchildren, Aria, Bronson, and Benton.

Mike built a distinguished 30-year career in the orthopedic implant industry, where he was respected as both a salesman and a quality design expert. His dedication, knowledge, and integrity left a lasting impact on colleagues and customers alike.

Outside of work, Mike was an avid outdoorsman who found joy in deer and turkey hunting, ice fishing, golfing, and taking pride in his lawn care. He embraced life with enthusiasm and appreciated the simple pleasures of time spent outdoors.

He is also survived by his father, Frank Ulanowicz of Stockbridge, MI; stepfather Billy (Lillian) Smith of St. Ignace, MI; brother Patrick (Mary) Ulanowicz of Adrian, MI; Aunt Sharon Risner of Dansville, MI; niece Brittney (Joe) Dulbs of Tecumseh, MI; nephew B. (Jenna) Ulanowicz of Adrian, MI; two great-nieces and one great-nephew; and stepbrothers Jared, Jamie, and Billy Jr. Smith.

Mike was preceded in death by his mother, Linda Smith of St. Ignace, MI; his grandparents Leo (Betty) Ulanowicz of Munith, MI; and Harrison (Lena) Leverett of Jackson, MI.

A Celebration of Life will be held later. Additional details will be shared closer to the date.
