RACINE – After a long 3-month health battle, Michael Aceves passed away at St. Luke's Medical Center in Milwaukee on August 24, 2020. During his hospital stay, his wife April passed away on June 11, 2020. He was looking forward to his reunion with April and Adam.

He was born on September 23, 1949, the son of the late Jose and Manuela (nee Aguilar) Aceves.

Michael worked as machine grinder and polisher for many years at JI Case Company.

He was a loving husband, father, son, and brother. His son Adam died at a young age, but, while Adam was alive, Michael greatly enjoyed spending time with him. He often talked of his walks with Adam and their dog. Their walks in the woods and along the lakefront would last for hours and generated many good memories of their time together.

Michael was also the full-time caregiver for his wife April for many years. They too enjoyed their time together and their weekly outings to the local movie theater.

He spent many hours playing his guitar, writing music, and singing; a hobby that he shared with his older brother Joe. They provided us with some very uplifting tunes, harmonies, and melodies.

Michael is survived by his brother and sister-in-law, Manuel and Margaret Aceves of Florida; his nephew, Chris Aceves of Florida; as well as sisters-in-law and other extended family.

A private graveside service will be held at Holy Cross Cemetery in Caledonia.
