Michael Lee Mignano, 50, of Monroe, passed away unexpectedly due to complications from Leukemia on August 28, 2021, with loved ones by his side.

Mike worked for many years at the family store, Mignano’s, and then continued his employment for the past 16 years at Bay Corrugated Container as a graphic designer.

He created and designed many art projects just for fun and to help others. Mike was an amazing friend, son, brother, and uncle.
