Heartbroken about this sad outcome in the search for Mike Warga. Sharing this letter from his family….

Family and Friends,

We are sad to let you know that Michael Warga, our beloved husband,son, father, grandfather and friend, passed away this weekend. Mike took a casual walk in Kirkland mid-Saturday morning. When he did not return home, his family and friends spent the next several days searching for him. Unfortunately, his body was found Tuesday morning off the shore of Kiwanis Park in the City of Kirkland.

Mike led a rich and full life. He was kind, hardworking and full of joy. He was loved by all. We will have more information later, but we wanted to thank everyone who shared their concerns, sent their love, and participated in the efforts to find Mike. We cannot express how much we appreciate these acts of kindness, which shows how much this community loves him.

We will love and miss him forever. He will always be in our hearts.

Love,The Warga family
