Michael Anthony Karwoski was born in Ferndale, Michigan in 1949. He was raised by his parents Wanda Mae and John Thomas in Troy, Michigan until the family moved to Tarzana, California in 1960. He had three brothers Timothy, John and Patrick and one sister, Kathy. Michael served in the United States Army and served his country in the Vietnam War. Michael married Esther Diaz in 1973 and they had three daughters. Michael is survived by his fiancé Vonne; his children Cynthea and Gabriel Hernandez, Rosalee Karwoski, and Cheryl and Anthony Cinnater; his grandchildren Marc, Ylina, Anthony, Alissa, Eric, Skyler, Ariana, Amaya, Nicolas, Viviana, Yvette, Nathaniel and Mia and his great grandchildren Andrea, Brielle, Jayce and Wolfe. Mike lived his life with enthusiasm and optimism. He was funny and brought joy to all who knew him. He loved music, old westerns, antiquing, and his family and friends. He is now with his beloved parents and his brother Rob and will be so very missed by all of us here.
