Edward Michael Bulkoski

On December 18, 2022 family and friends tragically lost Edward Michael Bulkoski at the young age of 43, after a hard-fought battle to recover from a sudden rare bilateral stroke. Known lovingly as Mike, or Bull by those close to him, he made a lasting impression to many that will carry on his memory.
Mike was born on March 25, 1979 and spent his childhood growing up in Chardon; his teenage adventures there will certainly live in infamy in the hearts of his childhood friends. Always active, Mike enjoyed fishing, snowboarding and spending time with his children. He had a soft spot for animals, loved welding and had a great passion for his poetry and music. He lived his life to the fullest, taking every opportunity to enjoy it.
Many will remember Mike for his tough guy exterior but know him well as a kind soul that was always first in line to lend a helping hand. His sense of humor brightened the day of anyone around him and he was forever eager to make people laugh. Mike had enviable strength and was always able to find a way to laugh through all the challenges life had to offer.
We welcome you to join us as we hold a memorial gathering to remember Mike on Wednesday, January 18th, 2023 from 5-7pm with a memorial service immediately following at 7pm at the Potti & Marc F. Burr Funeral Homes of Painesville 1009 Mentor Ave, Painesville OH 44077. He leaves behind a son and daughter who would love to see pictures of their dad at all stages of life; if you have a picture to share on our board it would mean a lot to them; if you can bring a story to share as well it would be incredibly appreciated.
All donations will be gifted to Mike's two children as they take time to process their loss while trying to honor him and the life he lived.
