Michael Kopas Obituary
Mike was an arborist and co-founder (along with his brother, Jack) and president of Timberland Tree Experts in Towaco, New Jersey. He served as president of the New Jersey Chapter of the International Society of Arboriculture and was also a past president of the Montville, New Jersey Rotary Club.
An avid athlete, Mike played baseball and basketball throughout his youth and continued in high school and college. He later gave back to his community by coaching youth baseball and basketball teams in Montville Township, New Jersey. In his later years, he enjoyed many rounds of golf and remained a loyal-and long-suffering-fan of Rutgers football.
Michael is survived by his beloved wife, Lois; his children, Susan Weissman, Laura Mooney, Michael, and Matthew; and his cherished grandchildren, Jeffrey, Lauren, Patrick, Steven, Alex, Andrew, Caroline, Ryan, and Meghan.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Marian and Michael Kopas Sr., and his brother, Jack Kopas.
Memorial services will be held at a later date in Denville, New Jersey.
Mr. Kopas is entrusted to Kelvin F. Lewis, the funeral director, and the Lewis Crematory & Funeral Home staff of Myrtle Beach, SC. (843) 294-0011.
