Michael John Kuczma

Clinton- Michael John Kuczma, our beloved son, brother, uncle, grandson, cousin and friend, left his earthly home unexpectedly May 27, 2010 to return to live with his Heavenly Father. He was born September 11, 1973 to delighted parents John Thomas and Patricia Ann Unsworth.

 

He grew up in Clinton, and graduated from Clearfield High and LDS seminary in 1991. In high school he was a member of the band and played drums in the Jazz band. He earned the money to buy a drum set in high school that he loved and played loud. Mike received a music scholarship to Southern Utah University. He also attended Weber State University, excelling in English and Anthropology.

 

He was always a member of a band, including Bronco, and recorded three cd’s. He was in his element playing drums, camping in the desert, hiking, snowboarding and skateboarding.

 

He was an accomplished EMT and was a kind and compassionate caretaker. He also completely remodeled two older houses into beautiful homes. He loved and was much loved by his many friends. He traveled far and always could find a friend.

 

Family was a high priority. He loved and helped raise his three younger sisters, watching over and protecting them, eventually doing the same for his three nephews and niece. Without fail he made every situation fun.

 

He was a member of the LDS church and held the office of Priest. He is survived by his parents, sisters, Amy (Corey) Peterson, Ogden, UT; Camille (Allen) Linsley, Layton, UT; Emily (Tavin) Deru, S Ogden UT; his grandfather Quentin Unsworth Malad, ID; and many aunts, uncles, and cousins.

 

Funeral services will be held Tuesday June 1, 2010 at 11:00 a.m. at the Clinton 5th LDS ward 2206 W. 2300 N. Clinton. Friends may meet family Monday May 31, 2010 from 6-8 p.m. at Leavitt’s Mortuary 836 36th Street, Ogden and one hour prior to services at the church.

 

Interment will follow at Leavitt’s Aultorest Memorial Park

 

Mikey-We will miss your piercing blue eyes, quick smile, tender heart and sense of fun. You are irreplaceable. We will forever love you, and look forward to the day we will be reunited once again.

 

 

Dear Kuczma Family, Words cannot express the depth of sadness with such a tremendous loss. I am thinking about all of you and praying for some sort of peace in all of this. Michael was one of the most special people on earth and loved by EVERYONE who ever met him. His kindness, generosity and spirit of life will never be forgotten. Many blessings, love always, Charisse

We really liked Mike, it is a great loss for society. Mike was a genuine, honest, kind, and always had good intentions. Anyone who knew him knows this is the case. We wish the best to his family in this tough and surreal time.

If it weren't for Mikey the compound, the place we call home, would not exist. His fervor and excitement to remodel the red and blue houses and his dream to gather good people, good friends, together to create what is now "The Compound" was so amazing. When Jake and I closed on our house, Mikey made yet another pathway from the central fire pit (it already had one going to/from each of his houses) to the backyard of our house, so that we too would feel included; part of something bigger. Mikey had a knack for making anyone/everyone feel included and was the first to lend a helping hand. There was never a dull moment around Mikey. If he had an idea, he went for it. We are so grateful to have known him and better people for having had him in our lives. He was a sweet spirit and under-appreciated good guy.

We were very sad to hear about Mike. He was such a nice guy. He was very good friends with our son Leif who is also a drummer. We offer our symphathy to your family. His passing has been very hard for his many friends in SLC. Mike always got a big kick out of watching Dale do his yo-yo tricks. He was also a friend to our daughter Gina.

 

Dale and Sue Myrberg (SLC, UT)

 

John, Pat, Amy, Camille, and Emily, I am so very sorry to hear about your loss. Losing a loved one is such a horrible experience, especially one at such a young age. Mike was a wonderful person and was so full of life. I always enjoyed talking with him and he always brought a smile to our family’s faces when we were visiting the hospital. I realize how hard this must be on your family. Don’t lose faith; sometimes it’s all we have. If you guys need anything what so ever, please feel free to call us. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. 8015292735

Well I see trees of green and Red roses too, I'll watch them bloom for me and you And I think to myself What a wonderful world

 

Well I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white And the brightness of day I like the dark and I think to myself What a wonderful world

 

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky Are also on the faces of people passing by I see friends shaking hands Saying, "How do you do?" They're really saying, I...I love you I hear babies cry and I watch them grow, They'll learn much more Than we'll know And I think to myself What a wonderful world (w)oohoorld

Dear Family of Mike, I just want to express my sincer symphathy to you all. Mike will truly be missed. I used to work & live in the West Point/Layton area and I always looked forward to seeing Mike at my place of employment, and for the 4 years I worked there, every week I got the pleasure of just sitting and talking to him. There were times we just sat and talked and ended up forgetting why he even came in that day :) I have three little boys, and any time we had to go to Davis ER, I would specifically ask for Mike and he ALWAYS took very good care of us! I was so lucky to have known Mike. He was a very genuine, sweet , caring person who will be missed by so many people in which he touched their lives in so many ways! If you all need anything at all what so ever, please feel free to call! You all are in my prayers and I wish you much strength for the long road ahead. Mike...we will see you again someday! Until then, rest in peace my dear friend! Love ya!

Mike, I heard about what happened today. I can't believe that I will not see you stopping by work or around town. I will miss your smile and upbeat spirit. Thanks for your friendship. Until we meet again! Blake

John and Patricia,

 

My family and I would like to extend our blessing and sorrow to your family for your loss. I am not sure if Mike ever mentioned me, but I worked with him at the hospital as a paramedic. I was also a Davis County Sheriff. I have not talked with Mike for about a year or so. I have not been able to make contact with him. He was a great man and a wonderful friend. Mike was always concerned about everyone else and never related his need for friendship. Mike was always there for me when I needed a shoulder to cry on. Even though I have not seen or talked with him for a long time, I always felt our paths would cross again. I will miss him dearly. The world has lost a wonderful person. I am so sorry. Please feel free to contact me if you need anything.

John, I just wanted to take a moment to let you know my heartfelt Prayers are with you and your family at your unexpected loss. Please accept my deepest condolences. May God Bless you and your family at this time. Your friend, Jack

 

Jack Nickell (Layton , Ut.)

 

I know, it sounds corny when people "just" have to say wonderful things about the deceased. But with Mike it is only this way he can be described. He was one of the people who worked with me and his compassion for his patients impressed me right away. I'm so saddened and he is a true loss.

It's been a little over 20 years ago that I took Drivers Ed with a cute boy named Mike. I had a hard time concentrating on the instructions because I was so busy looking over at him to see if he was looking at me:) Being a young girl, that was the first time I ever approached someone who I was sure should be in my life. Mike was very kind and extremely friendly. We became good friends after that and continued to keep in touch for many years. He always told me to slow down in my driving and reminded me to be safe. I used to laugh and think how silly he was. I thought with the drums and skateboarding he seemed so funny to be so caring. Many times Mike was there for me and gave me such good advice. Today I heard from an old friend about Mike's passing. Although it's been years since I last spoke with him, I feel his lose deeply. I miss you Mike. Take care and I hope to see you again ( and I promise to drive carefully).

 

Mysti Beresford (Central Coast, CA)

 

I first met Mike in 1995 when we both started at Red Lobster. For three years, he was my best friend. The funny thing is, I'll bet everyone thought of Mike as their best friend. He always taught me to be true to myself. I will miss you Mike.

I went to High School with Mike, and was so happy to have known him. Having a very troubled childhood and family life, Mike always greeted me with that big grin, and always had something encouraging to say. I am so sorry for your family's loss, he was a great guy!
