STOUGHTON - Michael A. Coudray, age 69, of Belleville, passed away on Sunday, April 28, 2024, at Azura Memory Care. He was born on March 18, 1955, in Superior and raised in Brule. He was the son of Norman and Irene (Langford) Coudray.

Mike graduated from Northwestern High School in 1973 and received his associate degree from MATC in Field Machine Tool. He was united in marriage to Mary Gleason on May 21, 1983. Mike was extremely proud of his work as a machinist. He received the Certification of Excellence for Outstanding Performance and Contribution for the completion of the Dark Matter/Ice Cube, through the University of Madison. He retired from the University of Wisconsin’s Physical Plant after many years of service.

Mike was the starter of many projects, finisher of few. He enjoyed working on old cars and always found good prices on parts, sometimes before he found the car for the part. He loved photography and traveling to the North Shore of Lake Superior. He was a fan of PBS radio and jazz music. He adored the companionship of his loyal canine companions.

Mike is survived by his daughter, Courtney (DJ) Brewer; son, Chris (Terri Maley) Coudray; partner, Deb Dorscheid; eight grandchildren, Christopher Flynn, Devon Flynn, Caitlyn Brewer, Logan Coudray, Tyler Maley, Aspen Coudray, Colton Maley and Abigail Coudray; great-grandchild, River James Brewer; brother, David (Sandra) Coudray; sisters, Bernice Anderson, Mary Margaret Kreager and Diane Coudray; and many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Mary in 2017; parents, Norman and Irene; sister, Barbara Mitchell and brother-in-law, Charlie Mitchell; brother-in-law, Bruce Anderson; brother-in-law, Richard Kreager; sister-in-law, Ruth Gerhardt; and nephews, Jeffrey Mitchell and Scott Mitchell.

In keeping with Mike's wishes, no services will be held.

A special thank you to Azura Memory Care, Agrace HospiceCare, and Home Instead for all their loving care.
