Michael Johsz passed away on October 12, 2016 at the age of 53. He was the husband of Jill Johsz. He met Jill when he was 19 years old at Golden West College. They shared 30 years of marriage together, and have two beautiful daughters, Krista Marie Bosshart and Stephanie Ann Messick.

Born in Los Angeles, California on November 5, 1962, he is the son of George and Dorothy Johsz. Mike attended St. Bonaventure Catholic School and Mater Dei High School. Mike lettered in football, baseball and track. He graduated from Pepperdine University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration in April of 1985. He recently retired from AT&T after working 25+ years as a Regional Manager of Corporate Real Estate.

Mike was an avid golfer. He never turned down an invitation to golf, even if only with a few minutes notice. If he wasn't on the golf course, you could find him at Roger Dunn trying out his next putter or set of clubs that was sure to fix his game. He loved travelling up to the central coast to wine taste in Paso Robles, hit all his favorite restaurants in San Luis Obispo, and his favorite ice cream shop in Avila Beach for his Doc Bernstein's birthday cake ice cream.

He will be remembered for being a great husband, father, and friend. He always put his family first, and was an honest individual with bar none character. We will always remember his unique sense of humor and straight-forward attitude. Mike always had the ability to see the positive in every situation, and never took life too seriously.

He is survived by his wife, Jill Johsz; daughters Krista Marie Bosshart and Stephanie Ann Messick; son-in-laws Erik Thomas Bosshart and Christopher Kirk Messick; parents George and Dorothy Johsz; brothers Stephen Johsz and George Johsz.

THE GOLF COURSE IN THE SKY

As eighteen flags flew at half mast, and
Glasses were soberly raised high
The latest member was having a ball
At the golf course in the sky
Freed from the gravity of the situation
The first tee shot soared through space
Bringing a wondrous, beaming smile
To a kind, down to earth face
Surrounded by old club friends
Once thought never to be seen again
The infinity course beckoned ahead
Eighteen holes were for mere mortal men
