We are saddened to report the December 23rd passing of Mike Stefancik, a well-known member of the BAK family. Many of you will remember him as "Big Mike," the friendly guy who drove one of the BAK luggage trucks for many years prior to 2020. Mike was a reliable volunteer who always helped keep BAK running smoothly. We send our deep condolences to his wife, Becky Bryant, and his entire extended family. https://www.speakschapel.com/obituaries/michael-stefancik-jr?fbclid=IwY2xjawHgCBBleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHQOG0uzCfjFz1ccPcUX6U5rzhYKvBY61J_QvAt9_zC-slxxp2Zgd6HDIdg_aem_RspvtCvlWjk2pLR0bmjG0g
