Michael K. St. Germain

Michael K. St. Germain, age 53, of Plainfield, IL and formerly of Minooka, IL, passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family, on Saturday, September 5, 2026, at his home. He was born on December 15, 1972, in Joliet, IL to Thomas and Cheryl (nee Nemanich) St. Germain.

Michael was raised in Channahon, IL and graduated from Minooka High School. Throughout his four years of high school, Michael was always participating in school plays and could be found singing or dancing. Growing up, Michael and his family belonged to the Braidwood Rec. Club and together they would go camping during the summer.In 2010, Michael married the love of his life, Suzanne Kuba. For the last 16 years, they lived for each other and the children. Michael would often be heard telling Suzanne “You know I love you” and it could never be said enough.

Michael’s love for plays, singing, and dancing lives on through his three beloved children. His daughter, Ella (23), participated in competitive cheer and color guard, his son, Nathan (22), played soccer, lacrosse, and was a member of the Madrigals, and his daughter, Emily (20), was on a competitive dance team and the color guard. His greatest joy was being a father, a roll he was extremely proud of. His three children were number one in his life and he would have been lost without them. Michael was a very active member at The Village Christian Church where he was on the Prayer Team and a board member for the RECLAIM3D Charity. In his free time, Michael enjoyed watching Star Trek and gardening, finding solace in the beauty of nature.

Michael and Suzanne, along with the children, have traveled up to Wisconsin Dells for nearly 15 years. In 2023, Michael and Suzanne had gone to Disney and in 2026, they took Ella to Disney. As a family, they wanted to make one more trip with Michael to Disney. Las Vegas, Michigan, and most recently Tennessee were some other places they had visited together. Michael loved to travel alongside his family and they would explore new places together.

Michael is survived by his loving wife, Suzanne St. Germain; his beloved children, Ella St. Germain, Nathan (fiancée, Victoria North) St. Germain, and Emily (fiancé, Kaeden Weiler) St. Germain; his parents, Thomas and Cheryl St. Germain; his sister, Kimberly St. Germain; Godfather, John Nemanich; his aunt, Judy (Bob) Kauzlaric; his uncle, Terry St. Germain; cousins, Christopher (Samantha) Kauzlaric, Laurie Kauzlaric, Kevin Kauzlaric, Melissa St. Germain, and Chrissy St. Germain; second cousins, Elora and Charlie Kauzlaric; his mother-in-law, Karen Kuba; and sisters-in-law, Renee Kuba and Kristen (Corey) Kepper.

He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Marilyn and Bud Nemanich; paternal grandparents, Vera and Raymond St. Germain; his aunt, Celia St. Germain; and his father-in-law, David Kuba.
