It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Roman Michalko after a courageous battle with cancer at the age of 62.
Roman was predeceased by his Father John Michalko and Mother Valentine Michalko. Beloved husband of Christina Hlynsky. Dear Father to Andrew Michalko and Matthew Michalko. Cherished twin brother of Halia Michalko, brother of Olga Koltun, and uncle to Christine Koltun.

This trip was at the top of his bucket list.

I am very saddend to hear the news about Mr.Michalko, I was a Gonzaga student and had him as my teacher for math and religion. He always made me smile and had good jokes. He was good at giving advice once you needed it. My deep condolences to all of the family and friends. He will be greatly missed.
