Obituaries
From Dr Michael John Shack (1943-2021) - Find a Grave Memorial: [1834]

Monday, December 6th, 1943 - Friday, January 15th, 2021

For 77 years, Dr. Michael John Shack lived a full and wonderful life. He was a brilliant neurologist, a devoted husband of 55+ years, raised three daddy’s girls, doting Zaida/grandpa to 5 amazing kids, a memorable relative, and a loving friend.

Covid took his life on January 15. We are heartbroken at his passing.

He is survived by his wife, Elinor (Schunick) Shack of Baltimore, Maryland, and their three daughters, Jennifer Weiner (and husband Aaron) of Aurora, Illinois; Julie Lauritzen of Lake Balboa, California; and Danielle Archuleta (and husband Frankie) of Poway, California. He has five amazing grandchildren – Jacob, Matthew, Logan, Brody, and Aliyah. Mourning Mike’s passing are his nieces and nephews Robyn, Bill, Louis, Debbie, John, and Bradley, and countless relatives and friends from England, Israel, and around the country. Michael is rejoined with his first-born daughter, Lisa, sister Brenda, and his parents, Harry and Evelyn.

Michael remains a beloved founding member of Temple Adat Shalom in Poway, where he was a past president and an ardent, loving supporter of his synagogue family. In Michael’s memory, donations may be made to the Michael Shack Memorial fund at Temple Adat Shalom to pay for a shade structure for the courtyard. Michael’s presence will continue to watch over and shade the community through all their celebrations.
