| The Daily Courier, Prescott, Arizona Sunday, January 15, 2017, page 5a Michael Bruce Brockert, born on Feb. 15, 1942, passed away Jan. 10, 2017, in his home surrounded by his wife, kids, grandkids and close friends. He is survived by his wife of 35 years, Patricia Brockert; his son, Brian Brockert (Darlene); his daughter, Rebecca Starr; and his sons, Kirk, Shaun (Lori) and Ryan McBride. He was also a loving and proud grandfather to Kirsten, Kira, Brennen, Brianna, Ian, Chloe, Caden and great-grandson Vaun. His grandkids spent many hours with him learning to play cards; he was a role-model for being fair, honest and how to fully enjoy life as he lived his life both ethically and with great joy. Mike was born in Wisconsin, one of nine siblings. He is also survived by his brothers Richard and Dan and his sister Mary Ellen. Mike was a strong and devoted man; a life-long teacher, not solely in the classroom, but on the field, court and in nature. Through his spirit and volunteerism, he helped strengthen a tight knit community where he lived in the log home that he cherished and helped to build, in Ponderosa Park. He loved a good day on the golf course, competitively fierce games of pinochle and cribbage, and most of all, dancing with his wife, Patricia. His services will be held on Saturday, Feb. 11, 11 a.m. at St Luke’s Episcopal Church in Prescott, Arizona. A celebration of his life will follow for friends and family at Jersey Lilly’s Saloon, where Mike and Patricia were known to dance most Sunday afternoons. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Mike’s memory to St Vincent de Paul, Good Samaritan Hospice or St. Luke’s Church. Information provided by survivors. |
