Obituary of Michael J. Borucki

Michael J. Borucki, age 47, beloved husband of Kristine Wilson Borucki of Trumbull, passed away on Monday, November 20, 2017 at Connecticut Hospice in Branford with his family and close friends by his side. Born in Bridgeport on February 15, 1970, he was the son of Joseph M. Borucki, Sr. of FL and Rosanne P. Striebe Borucki of Bridgeport.

Mike fought a long and courageous battle with cancer for four years. He had a true fighter's spirit. Mike was a graduate of Trumbull High School, class of 1988 and the Trumbull Police Academy class of 1996. He was a police officer with the Trumbull Police Dept. with over 22 years of dedicated service. He enjoyed motocross, riding dirt bikes and working on old cars. Mike was so proud that his sons shared in his passion and found comfort in knowing that his legacy will be carried on. He was family oriented, a great father and loving husband. His lightheartedness and comical sense of humor will be missed by all who knew him.
