Michael Copsin
August 31, 2011
Jesus sent his Angels to bring Mike home on Wednesday, August 31st.
Mike is temporarily separated from a huge, loving family and numerous friends. He fought a hard and courageous battle with cancer, caused by his service to our country in Vietnam. Mike retired from the U.S. Postal Service in 2009 after forty years of service.
He had a large heart for his feathered friends. and fed them faithfully year round. For his entertainment, he enjoyed watching NASCAR and his favorite football team, the Chicago Bears, in his man-cave garage.
For now, he is waiting happily for his joyful reunion someday with his mother Esther; his wife Jeane; one son Tony (Holly); two daughters Tammie (Steve) and Jennifer (John); and five grandchildren Jace, Alex, Andrew, Amanda, and Gabrielle. He also looked forward to being reunited with his dog Skipper; and Jeane’s dog Mitzie.
Services are planned for Tuesday, September 6th at Iowa Veterans Cemetery, Adel, Iowa, at 2:00 P.M. Flowers may be sent to Hamilton’s Southtown Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Disabled American Veterans, 210 Walnut Street, Room 566, Des Moines, Iowa 50309.
Any further questions please call Hamilton’s Southtown Funeral Home at 515-285-3911.

Mike,
I enjoyed meeting and working with you for all of those years. You were always a nice guy. You never got caught up in all the drama. I am so sorry you had to go to soon. You were such a good guy and you will be missed!

Jeane, Ester and Family,
Mike was a dear friend who will be missed by so many. We will all miss his ready smile, "corny" jokes and the many stories about growing up and dealing his Mom and Morry fits.
His legacy, besides his family, will be the many, many friends who will miss him.
May our Lord, and all your friends who have gone before you, greet you with open arms.
