Michael Jepsen

Poland - Michael Jepsen, 61, died Friday morning, June 19, 2020 in the comfort of his home, surrounded by family.

Michael, affectionately known by many as "Boona" was born January 5, 1959 in Newton-Wellesley, MA, a son of Philip and Arlene (Curtin) Jepsen.

Raised in Massachusetts, Mike was a 1977 graduate of Bedford High School. After graduation, he relocated to New Hampshire and began his career in electrical work, working for MTS Trade Shows. While at a trade show in Florida, he met his future wife, the former Jammie L. Wells and they were married on March 20, 1987. They lived in New Hampshire until 1994 and then moved to the Youngstown area. He began working as a Teledata Technician for Geller Electric, which later became Zenith Systems. He worked for the company for 20 years until his health began failing 6 years ago. Mike was a proud member of the IBEW Local 64.

Mike had a very eclectic taste in music and enjoyed collecting and listening to records from different genres. He also enjoyed cheering on all of the Boston sports teams and dabbled in woodwork, carving personalized walking sticks for family. A true lover of nature, Mike enjoyed walking in the Poland Woods, going to the ocean, and looking at the sky, watching many sunrises, sunsets, and storms.

Above all, Mike was devoted to the Lord and his family. He will always be remembered and admired for his generosity, selflessness, hard work ethic, and his unique sense of humor.

In addition to his mother, Arlene Jepsen Spooner of Falmouth, MA, Mike is survived by his wife of 33 years, Jammie; two daughters, Jacqueline and Emily Jepsen, both of Poland; two brothers, Stephen (Pamela) Jepsen of Bedford, MA and Philip (Wendy Lovely) Jepsen of Houston, TX; four sisters, Susan (Joe) LaDow of East Falmouth, MA, Jackie Jepsen of East Falmouth, MA, Maura (Guy) Jepsen-Rufo of Hyannis Port, MA, and April (Mark) Robinson of Cotuit, MA; four step-siblings, Marlene, Suzanne, Harry, and Beth; a host of special  nieces and nephews, Joey, Kelly, Ana Joy, Michael, Molly, Emma, Stephen, Gray, Johnny, Hannah, Ciara, Chanel, Dakota, Taylor, Miranda, Victoria, and Dallas Jr.; and father and mother-in-law, Duane and Alberta Wells of Clearwater, FL.
