Michael Klug

Michael Spencer Klug, 70, a retired pharmacist of 37 years died peacefully in his home in Elk Mound, Wi on Saturday October 4th, 2025. He was many things throughout his life: a pharmacist, a farmer, a wood worker and fisherman. Beyond all else he was revered as a great boss, a remarkable friend and an amazing father.

Michael is survived by his children Nicole and Marcus Klug, his dog Anna, his sister Patricia Klug and many family and friends. He is preceded by his mother Shirley Spencer (Klug, Siedel) and his father Roland Klug, his sister Linda Klug (Anderson) and his two dogs Mandy and Augie.

He was born in Milwaukee, Wi October 4th, 1955 to Roland and Shirley Klug, the youngest of three. He attended Carroll College and UW-Madison where he graduated to pursue a life as a pharmacist. He moved to Ashland, WI after graduation where he eventually bought Medical Arts Pharmacy on Chapple Ave. In the early 2000's, he became the Regional Manger of ShopKo pharmacies and then a Pharmacy Manager for the Lake Hallie/Chippewa Falls, Wi Shopko. He retired in 2017 to pursue his hobbies of fishing in Canada during the summer and wood working in the winter.

While there are not enough words to really describe Mike, the words that come to mind are hardworking, passionate about the things that mattered most to him, quick with a joke and a smile and a contagious laugh. He was charismatic and had the ability to bring a light into any room he was in and he was so easy to love. His love for his hobbies, kids and dogs knew no bounds.

He will be dearly missed by all of those his life and light touched. There will be a Celebration of life at Stokes, Prock and Mundt 535 S. Hillcrest Parkway Altoona, Wi 54720 at 1:30pm-4:30pm on Thursday, October 9th,2025. All are invited to come celebrate his life with stories they have of Mike to celebrate him as he lived, with laughs and smiles.

In lieu of flowers, the family has requested gifts be made to the Mayo Clinic Cancer Research Center in Eau Claire to help support in their research to find better treatments for cancer.
