Michael T. Jasko, Jr.

MICHAEL T. JASKO, JR. age 60, died suddenly on November 14, 2021 as a result of an auto accident; beloved husband of Brenda (Loube); loving father of Michael, III (Beth), Jennifer Jasko, Angel Slogar (Michael), and Marcus Richardson; devoted grandpa of Giovanni and Jackson; cherished son of the late Michael, Sr and Patricia (nee Jones); dearest brother of Michelle Cole (Michael), Tricia (Jennifer Lipply), Steven (Johnna), and Daniel (Lisa); dear uncle, brother-in-law, nephew and friend of many.

Michael was born in Euclid, Ohio on August 17, 1961 and graduated from West Geauga High School in 1979.  He attended college at Kent State, and he went on to Culinary School to fulfill his true passion of becoming a Chef.  Through his love of cooking, Michael quickly earned the job of becoming the Head Chef at the grand opening of the very first Longhorn Steakhouse restaurant in Atlanta, GA.   His career eventually earned him the “prestigious role” of being a Chef for the Atlanta Braves in the 1990’s. As quickly as life took Michael down the road of fulfilling his dreams, he eventually found his way back home to Ohio. At the time of Michael’s passing he was working at Heinen’s in Chardon.  Michael was a true diehard fan of our Cleveland Browns and Cleveland Indians (and “Yes” he hated the name change!).  He loved cooking for family and friends.  But his true joy came from being married and the love of his family. Michael absolutely loved being a “Grandpa,” and he was a true kid at heart just holding them in his arms.  He will always be remembered as a hard-working, selfless, and dedicated person with a compassionate and caring heart.  Michael will never know just how many lives his heart truly touched and how heartbroken we are without him.
