Donald M. Grifka  
March 5, 1953 - December 26, 2020
Donald M. Grifka, 67, of Bad Axe passed away peacefully on Saturday, 
December 26, 2020 at McLaren Bay Regional Hospital in Bay City after a short 
and stoic battle from an unexpected illness.  Don was born March 9, 1953 in 
Bad Axe, to the late Leo and Angeline (Kucharczyk) Grifka.  He married 
Sandra Glaza on November 9, 1974 at St. John's Catholic Church in Ubly.  Don 
graduated from Ubly High School.  He spent all of his life in the custom 
construction industry and owned and operated Don's Quality Cabinets for 35 
years.  He loved creating custom designs and his memory will live on through 
the many homes he remodeled and enhanced with his creative touch.  Some of 
his favorite hobbies included bow hunting, spending time outside, canning 
with his wife, smoking meats, making sausages and sharing it all with his 
friends and family.  He loved being "papa" to Maddy and JoJo and spending 
quality time with them.  Snuggle time with papa was always the best.  He was 
also project manager for his kids many different projects and ideas.

Donald is survived by his wife of 46 years, Sandra; son Justin Grifka and 
his wife Kayla (Cregeur) of Essexville; two daughters, Lindsay Grifka and 
her significant other Martin Dunstheimer of Las Vegas, Nevada; Chelsea 
Grifka of South Haven; two granddaughters, Madelyn and Jordyn Grifka; and 
his mother-in-law, Delores Glaza of Bad Axe.

He is also survived by two brothers, Kenneth Grifka and his wife Carol of 
Bad Axe, Arnold Grifka and his wife Mary of Ubly; one sister, Elaine 
Lasceski and her husband Dennis of Fillion, along with many nieces and 
nephews.  
He was preceded in death by his parents Leo and Angeline Grifka and his 
father-in-law Walter Glaza.  In keeping with Don's wishes, cremation has 
taken place.  A private memorial service will be held at a later date.
