Michael Patrick McSharry

Michael Patrick McSharry was born January 4, 1969 (the best year ever) to Thomas “Pops” and Evelyn “Grannie” (Henderson) McSharry. Mike grew up in Omaha where he attended Blessed Sacrament grade school and graduated from Roncalli High School in 1987. As a young man, Mike was active in Boy Scouts and Golden Gloves boxing. Mike married Julie Rogokos in March 1986 at the courthouse in Oregon, Missouri, and to this union, three children were born; Jessica, Michael and Jade. Mike and Julie raised their family in Omaha. Mike worked at Arctic Glacier for 25 years, holding the title of Senior Manufacturing Manager. Mike enjoyed his coworkers so much that, upon receiving a call at 2 AM from a group heading home from the bar, he woke up Julie and they hosted a bunch of the Arctic family for a pancake feast or whatever they would find to serve! Mike loved being at a pool or visiting a beach. He was considered a human sundial, and loved being outside enjoying the day. His granddaughters were his #1 pride and joy, and he loved spending as much time with them as he could, especially giving them rides on the gator. He was always loud and bigger than life, and he was at his best while entertaining and hosting all guests. Mike had a habit of giving people nicknames, such as Baby (Phil), Pisser (Jessica), Bermie (Michael), Baby (Aubrey), Laramie lee long toe broken leg walk around little bugger butt (Laramie) and ET (Christy). Mike was an avid Husker fan, and excelled at day trading. He would grow his own tomatoes, because the store-bought ones just weren’t good enough! He liked listening to rock and roll or country music, and was always up for taquitos or a cheeseburger. Mike was famous for his fried chicken tenders and his steak bites (frequently requested by the family). He disliked arrogance or putting others down, and was fond of saying, “don’t thank me, thank the baby Jesus”, “I am Batman”, or more directly, “Straight Home!” Mike will be remembered as a generous, loving, boisterous, and ornery man who was a good provider and was always helpful. He loved people, whether it was betting with his nieces and nephews, handing candy out to kids, entertaining friends and family, or simply working on projects with Pops, Shawn and Joe, Mike loved his people. He cherished his family and his over 30 years of marriage. Most of all, Mike was the life of the party and always a fun guy. He had a quick wit, and didn’t mind stirring things up. He was a loyal and dedicated son, husband, father, grandfather and brother. Mike passed away unexpectedly at his home in Omaha on Friday, October 13, 2023 at the age of 54 years, 9 months and 9 days. Mike was preceded in death by his father Thomas “Pops” McSharry. He is survived by his wife Julie, children: Jessica McSharry, Michael McSharry (Korbyn Fox), and Jade (Vince) McCashland, mother Evelyn “Grannie” McSharry, grandchildren: Aubrey, Laramie, Leighton and Navy, brothers Joe and Shawn, and sister Lisa McSharry, and many nieces and nephews.
