MICHAEL ERIC TUSCHAK

April 28, 1963 - January 21, 2023

Michael was born in New Haven, Connecticut to Daniel and Rosemary (Roie) Tuschak. He is survived by his parents; his siblings Mark (Shannon) Tuschak and Lisa (Tim) Raun; his nephew and nieces Christopher (Shelby Jo) Raun, Anna Marie (Andrew) Webster, Elise Raun, Katerina (Blake) Lewis, and Kristina (Jacob) Mcqueen, along with numerous other family members and friends.

Michael grew up in an Air Force family traveling the world. His passion for travel continued throughout his lifetime. During college he studied in Belgium and France and visited many countries all through the years. Michael was his happiest when he was traveling and meeting new and diverse people.

Michael began his career at UPS and then worked as a medical records analyst for a hospital. He ended his career at University Methodist Church, where he not only supported himself, but found a spiritual home among many people who loved him.

Michael’s passion for helping others was visible throughout his life. He shepherded refugees through the process of immigration into the United States. He cared for the homeless and the hungry, and he raised money for St. Jude Children’s Hospital.

Michael’s long struggle with mental illness has ended and he has now found peace and eternal rest. His open spirit and loving heart will be missed by us all. Services will be held at St. Matthew Catholic Church, 10703 Wurzbach Rd, San Antonio, TX 78230 on February 11, 2023. Visitation at 9 am; Rosary at 9:30 am; Mass at 10:00 am.

Interment will be at University Methodist Church Columbarium.
