Michael Campagna of Racine passed away unexpectedly on Friday, January 16, 2026. He was born in Kenosha, the son of the late Casimer and Theresa (Schlaffer) Campagna.
He attended various Kenosha elementary schools and was enrolled in the Wisconsin School for the Deaf in 1966, where he graduated in 1971. He worked as a drill press operator at the former L.C. Thomsen Company for 34 years and retired in 2007.
Michael loved football and baseball and was a fan of the Green Bay Packers, Wisconsin Badgers, Chicago Cubs, and the Milwaukee Brewers. He enjoyed anything involving history and old comedy shows, his favorite being Laurel and Hardy. Michael was a member of the Kenosha/Racine Deaf Club for many years.
He is survived by his sisters, Peggy Principe of Lakewood, CO, and Laura Christopherson of Kenosha, WI; his twin brother, Larry Campagna of Vero Beach, FL; his nephew, Tom (Bobbi) Christopherson; and nieces, Amy Hess, Stacey Goetz (Mike Stirle), Cari Campagna, and Amanda Primavera.
