Michael Ernest Mileschkowsky, born October 23, 1948 in Jackson, Mich., gained his heavenly wings on Sunday, August 18, 2019, after a short stay at Mountain Home VA Hospital of Johnson City, Tenn. Mike was a dedicated husband to his wife of 34 years, Rebecca. Always with a smile, Mike never met a stranger and was quick with a joke. He loved to play guitar, mow his yard and build things. He was a master machinist and took pride in everything he did.
