A Gentle Giant Leaves a Community in Mourning

On November 30, 2025, the Cenni family and the Pleasant Prairie community were shaken by the heartbreaking loss of Mike Cenni—a man whose kindness, quiet strength, and unwavering devotion left an imprint on every life he touched. After a long and exhausting illness, Mike’s passing brought an emotional heaviness that is deeply felt by all who knew him. Though his family had walked beside him through every battle and every setback, nothing could prepare them for the silence left behind. His wife of 46 years, Randi, now faces a world forever changed, missing the man who remained her partner, confidant, and steady source of love for nearly half a century. Friends and loved ones remember Mike as a man who lived with purpose, lifting others even while quietly fighting his own battles.

A Life Built on Love, Generosity, and Unshakable Commitment

Mike’s life was a testament to compassion—expressed not only in words but in action, every single day. As a husband, father, and grandfather, he poured his heart into his family, offering wisdom, laughter, and support that shaped generations. The warmth of his presence, the strength of his character, and the gentleness of his spirit created a home filled with love and stability. Beyond the walls of his home, Mike was a true pillar of the community. He dedicated countless hours to fundraisers, charity events, and causes that brought people together and provided relief for those in need. For Mike, helping others wasn’t an obligation—it was his way of life. His generosity was the kind that didn’t seek recognition, yet his impact radiated far and wide. Those who had the privilege of knowing him will forever remember his kindness, his patience, and the comfort he brought simply by being who he was.

A Community United to Carry the Love He Left Behind

In the aftermath of such a profound loss, the community Mike once served so faithfully is now stepping forward to support the woman he loved most—his wife, Randi. Their compassion, donations, and heartfelt messages reflect the deep connections Mike fostered throughout his life. Every gesture of support stands as a living tribute to the man who showed up for others time and time again. As friends and neighbors gather around the Cenni family, they do so with gratitude for a life lived with sincerity, humility, and boundless love.

Mike’s legacy is not measured by years, but by the lives he lifted, the kindness he spread, and the memories he leaves behind. Though his absence is painful, the lessons he taught through his generosity and devotion remain powerful and enduring. As Pleasant Prairie grieves, it also celebrates the beautiful life of a man who gave so much and asked for so little. Mike will be remembered not only in stories, but in the love still felt in every corner of the community he helped shape. His spirit lives on—in his family, in his neighbors, and in the countless hearts forever touched by his quiet, steady grace.
