Morrisonville-

Michael M. “Mike” Rotar, age 64 of Morrisonville, passed away on Sunday, March 16, 2025, after a short battle with cancer. He was born on August 13, 1960, in Madison, the son of Myron and Beverly (Sharer) Rotar. Mike was a 1978 graduate of Sun Prairie High School. On December 4, 1982, he was united in marriage to Dorene A. Jones. Mike spent most of his adult life as an independent owner/operator trucker.

Mike had many hobbies including boating, snowmobiling, and UTV-ing. Mike was very handy and there was no home renovation project Mike wouldn’t tackle. Most importantly, Mike loved spending time with his family.
