MILLIKEN, Colo. -- Michael Jason Sieczkowski, 45, formerly of Cortland, went home to be with our Heavenly Father on Sunday, July 26, 2026, following complications of Type 1 diabetes.
Michael was born Jan. 8, 1981, in Warren. Throughout his life, he called several places home, including Ohio, Colorado and Aztec, New Mexico.
Michael attended school in Cortland before moving to Colorado in 1993. He attended Franklin Middle School, Heath Junior High School and Greeley West High School before moving to Aztec, where he graduated from Aztec High School in 1999.
Following graduation, Michael returned to Ohio, where he worked at Trumbull Memorial Hospital in Warren. He later moved with his parents to Berlin, Ohio, where he worked at Pomerene Hospital in the heart of Amish Country.
In 2023, Michael returned to Colorado with his family to seek better healthcare for his diabetes. He made his home with his parents, Donald and Trish (Patricia) Libhart, and worked at the new Buc-ee's in Johnstown, Colorado, until his passing.
Michael had a deep appreciation for Colorado and especially loved the Rocky Mountains and the beautiful wildlife that surrounded him. He enjoyed weekend trips to watch the elk, fishing, treasure hunting, watching football and basketball, cheering on the Colorado Eagles and, most importantly, spending time with his family.
Michael leaves behind his parents, Donald and Trish (Patricia) Libhart; his father, Mike Sieczkowski (Dreama) of Garrettsville; his best friend and brother, Christopher Ryan Sieczkowski, at home in Milliken, Colorado; and his stepbrothers, Jason Ray (Shannon) Libhart of Pierce, Colorado, and Jerad Allen Libhart of San Antonio, Texas.
He is also survived by his aunts and uncles, Anne Marie (Robert) Jones of Mineral Ridge, Michael John (Julie) Kardas of Baltimore, Maryland, and Marybeth (Mark) Christoff of Mineral Ridge, and their families, along with many extended family members and friends who will miss him dearly.
Michael was preceded in death by his grandparents, Michael John and Irene Mae Kardas, and Valentine and Elizabeth Sieczkowski; and his aunts, Valerie Gombas and Beverly Kraynak.
A celebration of life honoring Michael will begin at 1 p.m. Friday, Sept. 25, 2026, at Lane Family Funeral Homes, Shafer-Winans Chapel, 164 N. High St., Cortland, OH 44410.
