Michael J. Herzog passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family on May 16, 2023, after a brave battle with leukemia.

Michael was a longtime N.Y. Yankees fan, coached the Lansing High School state champion baseball team, and was the announcer for Lansing Soccer Club. He loved the outdoors and was an avid hiker, from Zion to Grand Canyon and Glacier to Yosemite.

Michael is survived by his wife, Michaleen, his three sons, Edmund, Harrison (Rosie) and Clinton, his sister, Ursula Russ, and his three cats, Stella, Stanley and Simon.

The family wishes to thank Dr. Philip McCarthy, Dr. Eunice Wang, Hector Tirado, RN and the team of medical professionals who cared for Michael at the Roswell Park Cancer Center and Cayuga Medical Center.
