Michael E. Stack, 68, of Rochester, passed away peacefully, surrounded by his loving family, on Monday, November 9, 2026.
Born in Woburn, Massachusetts, he was the son of the late Edward and Margaret (Lane) Stack.
Mike was a devout Catholic, a jack of all trades, and loved spending time with his family. He possessed a lifelong passion for building and repairing things, and was never without a new project to occupy his hands and mind. He was a man of unwavering faith, strong character, and remarkable determination. He was a dedicated Boston sports fan, and loved watching the games with his boys. Nothing was more important to him than his family.
He is survived by his children, Michael, Brendan, and Trevor Stack; their mother, Karen H. Stack; and his siblings, Daniel P. Stack and his wife Imogene, and Thomas E. Stack and his wife Christine. Mike was also the loving uncle of his many nieces and nephews, with whom he shared very close bonds.
He was predeceased by his sisters, Cathy J. Stack and Mary M. Stack; and his brother, William L. Stack.
