Obituary
Verona- Michael "Mike" J. Endres passed away peacefully in his home at Azura in Verona, WI on January 13, 2026. He was born on July 10, 1948 in Madison, WI to Gerald "Bud" and Rosetta (Ziegler) Endres. He graduated from Waunakee High School and earned an Associate's Degree in Electronics from MATC, as well as served in the United States Air Force.
Mike worked for Q5 Communications, where he fixed CB radios and made many trucker friends from around the country. He opened his own electronics repair business and eventually lived out his dream by opening Mike's Pool Barn before finishing out his career as a courier.
Mike is survived by his brother, Jerry (Connie) Endres; sisters, Rosie Endres and Sandy (Bob) Neerland; nieces and nephews, Jeff Acker (Rachel Hawley), Jon Acker (Jenni Schmitt), Christy Endres, Shawn (Meghan) Endres, Ryan Neerland (Kristin Rogers), and Breanna (Zach) Driver; and four great-nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, Bud and Rosetta; infant sister, Rosemary Endres; and sister Vicki Acker.
The family would like to extend a special thanks to the team at Azura, Agrace HospiceCare, and the staff at the VA.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Agrace HospiceCare in Mike's name.
Mike was a real pool shark. Wherever he lived, he was well-known for his love of the game of pool. Rack 'em up!
