Michael Douglas Zatkoff, 67, Fishers, passed away on Monday, February 12, 2024, at his home surrounded and loved by family. He was born on July 5, 1956, to William and Evelyn (Kazmirowski) Zatkoff in South Bend, Ind.
Michael was an entrepreneur and an environmentalist who was not only a self-starter but inspired, encouraged, and supported many others to start their own business and make their dreams a reality. He worked hard, but he played hard as well. Michael loved golfing, listening to NPR (24/7), traveling, reading, golfing, and more golfing. Michael also organized and/or participated in chess clubs, soccer teams, golf leagues, bowling and softball teams, and many other activities in Noblesville at schools and with Our Lady of Grace Church. Michael appreciated a good (bad) joke, a good steak, and a cheap glass of wine. He lived by the motto “Family First” and was considered family and called “Dad” by many more people than those listed below.
He is survived by his wife, Carolyn Zatkoff; children, Nicholas Zatkoff, Matthew (Teresa) Zatkoff, Wilgues Jean Pierre (Hannah), Evelyn (James) Zatkoff, Stephanie (Allyn) Beaver, and Genese Zatkoff; and grandchildren, Alexis, Phoebe, Sylvina, and Mandela.
He was preceded in death by his parents.
