Mike Dushek, Brunswick, OH—The community is mourning the passing of Mike Dushek, a beloved musician and family man. He passed away following a battle with stomach cancer. His wife, Leslie, along with their daughters, Danielle, Emily, and Katie, are coping with the immense loss after having cared for him over the last two years.
A fundraiser organized by Mike Ashe, Leslie’s brother, is helping to cover expenses related to Mike’s memorial service. The campaign, titled Rockin’ for Mike: Helping Leslie Keep the Music Alive, has raised $3,859 out of its $5,000 goal. Contributions have poured in, with the top donation of $1,003 made by an anonymous donor, followed by a $500 donation from Mike Ashe. The funds will help provide a celebration of Mike’s life, as well as support Leslie as she regains financial stability after stepping away from work to care for her husband.
Mike, known for his love of rock ‘n’ roll and his bright personality, left a lasting impact on those who knew him. His passion for music and his ability to bring light to any room have been fondly remembered by many. Jessica Velez shared, "I lost my Uncle Mike to stomach cancer a couple weeks ago… Leslie is trying to plan a great celebration of life." Others in the community have also expressed their sympathy, with Rachel R Hadden commenting, “My condolences to you and your family,” and Mel Kehr writing, “So sorry to hear this. He was one of the good guys.” Julie Toellen offered heartfelt words, saying, "I pray that Mike Dushek and my brother, Joseph Jansen, are up in heaven playing beautiful praise music together. ‘I can only imagine’ what their eyes can see."
Mike’s memory is kept alive through the shared stories of his love for music, his easygoing nature, and his deep connections with friends and family. As the community comes together to support Leslie and her daughters, they remember Mike for the joy and love he brought into their lives.
