Suddenly, June 21, 2012, age 54 of
Snyder, NY, born and raised in Buffalo,
NY where he met his wife Noreen.
Mike cherished his family; of utmost
importance was the time he spent with
his daughters, Maura and Karalyn,
continually leading by example and
making sure he went the extra mile to
ensure their happiness and well-being.
Mike’s sister, Mary, changed her name
to Mary Michael Evanco upon receiving
a successful bone marrow transplant
from Mike in 2002. Mike was a talented
IT Consultant and Senior Project Mngr.
He was well respected in his community.
An avid sports fan, Mike enjoyed
watching the Bills, his Cincinnati Reds,
and, most of all, his beloved Sabres.
He loved the beauty and splendor of
Letchworth State Park. He was the
salt of the earth. He was exemplary
in his honesty, integrity and kindness.
His corny sense of humor made everyone
laugh, especially himself. He
unknowingly touched and influenced
so many people. He was a great son,
a great husband, a great father and a
great brother. We will miss him beyond
words. He is survived by his devoted
and loving wife of 26 years, Noreen
(nee Healy) Evanco; daughters Maura
and Karalyn; parents Emma Evanco
(nee Mooney) and John Evanco; sister
Mary Michael Evanco Caryk (Rosty);
brothers David (Kim), Mark (Amber),
Christopher (Gina) and Kevin (Malika);
beloved mother-in-law Maureen Healy
(Eagleton) and special brother-in-law
to Jim Healy, Colleen and Thomas
Switala, Shaun and Paula Healy, Brian
and Ellen McGuire. He is also survived
by dear friends and many nieces and
nephews. Relatives and friends may
call Friday 2-4 and 7-9 PM at THE
