Michael Kots Obituary
Mike was born in Kankakee, IL to Karen Kots on November 25, 1986. He went to school in Durango, CO. He married Annie Ozaksut on December 5, 2013 in Clarksville, TN. He is a proud graduate of the University of New Mexico and received his commission through the UNM Army ROTC program. He is a veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom and a Bronze Star recipient. He was involved in Civil War reenactment with the 1st NM Volunteers and was an avid golfer and lover of the outdoors. He never shied away from hard-work-work, and sought beauty, adventure, and service in his daily life. He will be remembered and loved dearly until death by those whose hearts he touched.
A graveside service will be held September 8, 2018 at Greenwood Cemetery. Reception will follow at The Tanglewood House located at 1601 Madison Street, Clarksville, TN 37043.

Not one day has gone by that you have not been in my thoughts and prayers. Sometimes 20 + times a day... I miss you so much life is hard without you. Everything I do and see reminds me of you somehow...I am alive but not living without you.My heart is broken. You were the love of my life. You made me so proud you were truly an individual who loved everything, no one does fireworks shows for me but I have a campfire nearly everyday and can hear you say I will make a campfire...because i loved them now i make one for you
