Michael Pleshek

Michael Pleshek, 34, left us unexpectedly and went to be with the Lord on February 19, 2025. A lifetime Puebloan, born June 10,1990 to proud parents Robert and Roxanne Pleshek. Preceded in death by Grandparents Pauline Longoria and Robert Pleshek, Sr., Aunt Mary Woodky, Cousin Jennifer Diamond, and other extended relatives.

Michael was an exceptional young man who had an infectious and unforgettable smile and a great head of hair. Mike graduated from South High School in 2009 where he played baseball and football and went on to graduate from CSU-Pueblo in 2017 with a bachelor’s in history. He utilized his education at GlobalED Solutions where he guided his students in achieving their high school diploma and ran their sports program. He also worked part time at SoCo Liquor.

Michael was an outgoing person and loved kids, often going out of his way to make them laugh and enjoy life. He loved all sports and was an avid Boston Red Sox and Raider’s fan and was in several bowling leagues around town. Mike loved music; you could always catch him listening and dancing to some of his favorites including Bruno Mars, Little Richard, and his all time favorite, Garth Brooks. He loved the outdoors and would go fishing, hiking and camping and spend quality time with family and friends at Taylor Reservoir nearly every year wearing his cowboy hat, boots, and shorts. Mike had a big heart, was a man of faith, kind, and a protector of all he knew. Most of all, he loved his family and friends and got along with everyone. He had many close friends going back to grade school.

Michael is survived by loving parents Bob and Roxanne, siblings Dena Manning, Eddie Pleshek, and Tamara Pleshek (Martin Sena), grandfather Eddie Longoria, grandmother Beverly Pleshek, Aunts Christina and Elena Longoria, Michelle Diamond and Pat Diaz, Uncle Jeff Pleshek, Godmother Wilma Fitzgerald, close cousins Andrew Longoria and Tony Fitzgerald, Nieces and Nephews, Donald (Dar) and Christina Tafoya, Andrew and Kamillia Manning, Alexis and Athan Baros, great Nieces Maui and Lilith and great Nephew Coast, God children Ainsley Lira and Ronan Ortiz, special friend Erika Flores, and many other close friends and family who will miss him dearly.
