Wiesław Koper (age 58)
June 13, 2025

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Wiesław Koper, age 58, who died peacefully at home on June 13, 2025.

Wiesław was a beloved husband to Renata for 37 years, father to Dominika (Adrian) and Mateusz (Mariola), grandfather to Łukasz and Filip, brother to Andrzej (Tatiana), son to mother-in-law Krystyna Hałasa, and Sarah Costa, who became a daughter after her parents passed away.  Wiesław is predeceased by his parents Rozalia and Bronisław Koper, brother Jacek, sister Łucja, and father-in-law Bronisław Hałasa.

Wiesław was born July 14, 1966 in Tomaszów Lubelski, Poland. As a young man, with his wife and children, he immigrated to the USA where he dedicated his time to the Polish Scouting Organization of Michigan. He was a life-long parishioner of St. Florian Catholic Church in Hamtramck. His greatest pride and joy was his family. Wiesław was funny, charismatic, and filled the room with his presence.

Wiesław was a dearly loved man who touched the hearts of all who had the privilege to know him. Although his passing does bring great sorrow, the love that he shared with us will continue to live on in our hearts.
