Michael “Mike” Hofmann, 67, Lake Tomahawk, passed away peacefully in his sleep at home on the morning of Saturday, December 15th, 2018. Mike was born on August 29th, 1951, in Wausau to the late Alvin and Virginia (Burns) Hofmann. Mike greatly enjoyed getting together with his siblings who also have cottages or homes on and around the same lake. He dearly loved his family, his many friends, and was always there to lend a helping hand. Mike was an avid football fan and a loyal fan of the Green Bay Packers. Additionally, he loved to sing karaoke with family and friends. Singing karaoke is certainly a “Family Tradition”. Mike loved to laugh, had an infectious spirit, and was loved by many. Mike retired from Weyerhaeuser/Domtar in Wausau after 41 years. He and his life partner, Bonita “Nita” Ankney, enjoyed visiting their condo in Punta Gorda, FL during the winters following his retirement. Mike is survived by his life partner Bonita “Nita” Ankney; children Jamie (Matt) Nass and Corey (Julie Thompson) Hofmann; grandchildren Gage, Tatum, Maxwell, Lucy, Giada, and Giordana. He is further survived by his siblings Tom (Sue) Hofmann, Dick (Pati) Hofmann, Jane (Steve) Kordiyak, Rod (Kathy) Hofmann, Ken Hofmann, and John Hofmann; and sister-in-law DiAnne. Also, Nita’s children Alica (Dan) Bailey, Bill (Kasey) Cagle, Steven (Denise) Cagle, Greg (Wendy) Cagle; and Nita’s six grandchildren and four great grandchildren. Additionally, he is survived by his beloved dog Nina. He was preceded in death by his parents, brothers Larry and Bruce, and a sister-in-law, Kathy. Mike has requested to be cremated and a private family service will be held at a later date.
