Michael Luskin

Michael Weldon Luskin was born April 17, 1976, in Salt Lake City, Utah, and passed away March 15, 2023, after living with incurable cancer. He lived 46 years of adventure and was deeply loved by his family.

Mike was intelligent and sharply funny. Beneath the humor, he had an incredibly kind and thoughtful heart. He was always there for his family. He enjoyed the arts, sports, working on cars, the outdoors, and trying new restaurants. Mike loved playing basketball most of his life. He loved music and taught himself the guitar. He double majored in German and Spanish, and later worked for TD Williamson for many years as a commodities specialist. He loved the Utah Symphony, Pioneer Theatre, and Deer Valley summer concerts. He was adventurous and loved traveling and meeting new people. Some of his favorite trips were visiting various European countries with family, India with colleagues, exploring New York at Christmas, and hiking in Moab and the Redwoods. Mike had seven brothers and sisters who considered him one of their best friends. He will be sorely missed by all that knew him, but especially his mother and siblings.

Mike is survived by his mother Joanne (Keith); father Siegfried (Evelyn); siblings David, Ruth (Darren), Deborah (Jon), Jennifer (Aaron), James, Sarah, and Emily; and beloved nieces and nephews Avery (Bret), Melissa, Geneva, Sophie, Isabel, Ethan, Anastasia, Ilsa, and Siegfried.

A celebration of life will be held for Michael at 11am on Monday, March 20, 2023, at Oquirrh 1st Ward, 5208 W Cyclamen Way, West Jordan, Utah.
