Michael S. Romans

"Mike"

Passed away peacefully at home after a long battle with several forms of cancer on Saturday, July 22, 2023. Age 69 years. Mike is survived his brothers Randall (Jennifer) and Chris (Amy). He is also survived by nieces Angela (Derrick) Bressler and Brittany Romans (Andrew) and nephews Brian (Jenny) Romans and Jason Romans. Mike is preceded in death by his parents Gene and Inez Romans. He is further survived by other family members, loyal friends and customers.

Mike was a 1971 graduate of Messmer High School. He was an avid supporter of the school and attended the annual golf outing with many of his classmates. He was the Owner / Operator of Romans' Pub on South Kinnickinnic Ave. for over 40 years. He was one of the original craft beer bars in Milwaukee. His appreciation and knowledge of craft beer earned him the nickname by many of "Godfather" by industry experts and friends.

Mike was his own person, the type of character that doesn't come around often. He was known for his sense of humor, the nicknames he gave to those he cared about and his "Mikeisms" (Such as Open, not Welcome). His family would like to thank the numerous friends that aided Mike during his battle with cancer. He will be sorely missed.

Memorial visitation at the Funeral Home on Friday, August 4, 2023 from 4 -7 PM. Reception to follow at Romans' Pub. In lieu of flowers, memorials in Mike's name may be to the MACC Fund.
