Masloski, Michael James
Age 61 of Inver Grove Heights

Early in life Mike found a love for the outdoors, when he would spend his summers up in northern Minnesota camping and fishing. Mike had a passion for fast cars that he expressed through his Chevelle, which he bought as a teenager, and later with his Thunderbird. When Mike was only 17 he enlisted and served in the Marines, which was one his proudest achievements. After his active service, Mike met Cheryl and they quickly 
started a family with sons Jesse and Jason. Mike was able to pass his love for the outdoors onto his sons through their fishing trips together on Island Lake. Mike would spend hours talking about is ever elusive giant muskie “Henryetta”, and sightings of the fish while out on the lake. When at home Mike was a very resourceful person in fixing and building things around his house to make it his home. Mike had a lesser-known soft spot for animals. He once rescued a stray cat from his work that would follow him for days and called him “Number 8” after the location they first met. Later in life Mike enjoyed spending his evening and weekends listening to classic rock music on the deck he built and lighting of the occasional firework with his son Jason.
