Michael A. Pauly, age 65, longtime resident of the Chicago and Western Suburbs, passed away on December 9, 2025. He was born in Chicago to the late Albert (Al) Julius Pauly and Assunta “Sue” Alleva.

Michael “Mike” was a shining light in the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing him. His journey on this earth was one marked by love and compassion. His passing has left a void in the hearts of his family, friends, and many more whose lives were touched by him.

We ask that you remember him not for the way his life ended but for the way it was lived, and for the relationships built along the way.

Mike is survived by his loving wife, Gail (Haneberg); his children: Michelle (Brandon) Elder, Nicole (Joey) Santo, Joe (Maria) Siler; his grandchildren: Madison and Briana Siler; Emerson and Wyla Elder; Gino and Fiore Santo; many cousins, godchildren, family and friends.

He was preceded in death by his wife Dianne (Kistler), (d. 2021).

Mike grew up in the west side of Chicago. He attended St. Angela’s grade school, Weber High School and graduated from North Central College. He moved to the suburbs where he started his own family.

As a small business owner, he followed several opportunities in his career.

Mike’s hobbies and interests helped define who he was as a man. He enjoyed sports and loved fantasy football pools. He often spent his weekends watching many different sports. His love for expensive ci**rs was also something he savored. He also loved munching on anything chocolate with a glass of Jack & Coke.

Although his physical presence may no longer be with us, our memories will make us smile.

A Visitation will be held on Friday, December 12, 2025, from 3:00 PM to 8:00 PM at Bucaro Funeral Home & Cremation Center, 485 W. Army Trail Road, Bloomingdale, IL 60108.

Mark’s career as a software engineer/consultant led him to roles at Amoco, Motorola, Rational/ IBM and Allstate.

Chicago sports was a big part of his life. A Sox fan in a family full of Cubs fans, the only time he cheered for only the Sox was during the Crosstown Classic games. Sports was always a topic of conversation with his friends, family and coworkers. He loved celebrating the 85 Bears, the Bulls 6 Jordan championships, the Stanley Cups of the Blackhawks and of course the World Series wins of his White Sox and then the Cubs.

Mark had a passion for football. He played on the Marist Football Team until he had a career ending injury his junior year. Football came back into his life as a coach when Ryan asked to play football in 2nd grade. Mark was the defensive coordinator for several Bloomingdale Bears teams and he loved every minute.

Over the years, Mark enjoyed the tranquil company of the neighborhood wildlife. Bunnies, squirrels and even a family of skunks were drawn to him. His connection to animals extended to the family birds, especially his African Grey parrot, Chaos, who enjoys talking in Mark’s voice and dancing with him.
