Michael James Ziegler, age 58 years, of Kingwood Township, NJ, returned home to the arms of Jesus peacefully on Sunday, March 27, 2022, at home, surrounded by his beloved family.
Born at Somerset Medical Center, Somerville, NJ, he was the son of George Louis Ziegler and the late Gloria Emma Gollhardt Ziegler. Raised in Bridgewater, he had lived in Kingwood Township since 1992.
After graduating from Immaculata High School, Somerville, NJ, in 1982, Mike earned his BS in Computer Science and Accounting from Moravian College in 1986. Recently retired, Mike was an Information Technology Systems Manager for Johnson & Johnson, having worked for the company his entire professional career of 35 years. He was well regarded and much loved by his peers for his humor and his technical prowess.
Mike’s story begins as most; he was the son of hardworking parents who worked to provide a good life for him and his younger sister, Laura. They instilled in him values which would carry over to his adult life and always encouraged his strength and tenacity.
His childhood was marked by a love for his little sister that would accompany them through adulthood, where the pair would always stand by and support one another through all of life’s endeavors.
It was fate during Mike’s junior year of high school that he was assigned a locker two down from Ms. Janet Marie Sidotti, a sophomore. The two struck up a friendship and by New Year’s Eve 1980, they would become a couple. Never having a trial or test that together they could not overcome, they would date throughout the rest of high school and college, and would be united in holy matrimony on June 26, 1988, at St. Matthias Church, Somerset, NJ.
Putting God first and at the center of their relationship is what Janet and Mike credited for the ease of which they lived life together. It was also because they always put the other person first. Their union was blessed with three children, Stephen Michael, Timothy James and Kathryn Anne, all of whom credit their dad with being a true role model for them in all aspects of life.
Mike’s super analytical intelligence made him a wonderful problem solver, and this helped to allow his children to see from early on that there was never a problem that could not be solved with a little hard work and faith. He guided them in all their endeavors with a steady, strong hand and taught them to always be responsible and compassionate to all people.
Coaching the kids and their friends in baseball, soccer, hockey, and basketball allowed Mike to get to spend extra time with them and make an impact for the better on the community. Mike enjoyed mentoring young people early in their career, including his children, and was known for his listening ear and sage advice on virtually any topic. He loved spending time with his friends and was often the organizer for many fun activities.
His generous heart knew no boundaries and was rooted in his Catholic faith. A longtime communicant of Our Lady of Victories Church, Mike was an usher at the church as well as a Third Degree Knight of Columbus, Delaware Valley Council #7581. He simply wanted to use his God given talents to do the Lord’s work on Earth and approached each new dawn with that attitude.
With his brain constantly in motion, Mike had many hobbies most of which involved being outside and communing in some way with nature. He was an avid hunter, skier, and enjoyed chopping cords of wood for the fireplace. He could often be found in the garage working on his cars. He was an ardent Philadelphia Flyers, Pittsburgh Steelers and Los Angeles Dodgers fan and enjoyed motor sports. His love of music touched many genres and made him a “Cool Dad”. From David Bowie to Led Zeppelin, Mike loved it all. The Stone Temple Pilots, Van Halen, Black Crowes, and Rolling Stones concerts, among many others, created wonderful and lasting memories.
Though his journey was too short by earthly standards, Mike, from the beginning, said his cancer diagnosis was, “In God’s Hands,” but he continued to live each moment with a ferocity to do good works for as long as he was able. Never complaining, he took each day in stride and never let his diagnosis defeat his will to make the world a better place and to enjoy each person he encountered. This is especially poignant as he leaves his grandson, Becket, with the legacy of living life to the fullest each day, and to always, “come out swinging”. With faith, hope and love as a foundation for living life, he believed that nothing is impossible with God. Known as ‘Grand-Dude’, Becket surely has the most amazing guardian helping to light his path.
In the prayer of St. Francis of Assisi, it is written Lord, make me an instrument of your peace: where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy. O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen. Mike lived his life by always remembering that when it seems the darkest, there is always, always a glimmer of light; one just needs to look a little harder to find it. To honor Mike is to not go into the darkness, but to always, always, seek the light.
Mike was preceded in death by his mother, Gloria Emma Gollhardt Ziegler in 1989; a son, Kenneth Robert Ziegler in 1995; and a grandchild, Vivian Emmanuel Ziegler in 2021.
Surviving are his wife of 33 years, Janet; his father George and partner Alyce; son and daughter-in-law Stephen and Samantha Ziegler; son and daughter-in-law Timothy and Jennifer Ziegler; daughter Kathryn Ziegler; sister, Laura Ziegler; grandson, Becket Ziegler; mother-in-law, Christine Sidotti; father-in-law, Phillip Sidotti and wife Nancy; brother-in-law, Frank Liebel; brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Kenneth and Pam Sidotti; several nieces, cousins and extended family; and many, many dear friends.
Mike will lie in repose on Thursday, March 31, 2022, from 4:00-8:00 p.m. at Our Lady Of Victories Church, 1007 County Road 519, Baptistown, NJ (Kingwood Township or Frenchtown for GPS). There will be an additional period of visitation on Friday, April 1, 2022, from 9:30-10:30 a.m. at the church.

We were just talking about "Zig" on one of our work calls -- he was a consummate professional, a great friend, and loved by all. I had the opportunity to work with Mike as a J&J vendor, and then became a friend with our shared affinity for the Flyers. It was clear Mike was loved by all -- even the ushers, security people, etc., at the Farg all loved Mike and his presence. I wish Mike's family and friends continued peace and prayers -- it never gets easier to lose someone like Mike. Know that he was loved and appreciated by many and his memory lives on!

What an amazing person! Mike can tease and make me feel ok about a mistake I just made. I'm glad to have met him early in my career where I made so many mistakes and thought many things were important. I can hear his infectious laugh even now and smile. Nothing phased him. My condolences to your family. He will be missed by everybody that has been fortunate enough to meet him.

My sincere condolences to Mike’s entire family. Mike and I worked together through the years and although I have not seen Mike in a bit of time since I left, when I heard the sad news my immediate reflection was one of him laughing and joking. Because we rarely were part of the same projects at work, our conversations were typically those of a personal nature, i.e. family, vacations, weekend plans, and of course sports - always sports. He was always smiling and up for a chat. Reading through the numerous messages left here, be it from family, friends and or work peers, the message and sentiments are all the same, we all may say it slightly different but all feel the same way - Mike was truly a genuine and good, good person and will be so missed.

More importantly, he was kind. Genuine, and kind. It seems he remained that way his entire rich life, and was so blessed to have such a true love to share it with.

Hi Janet,
I am so sorry to hear about Mike's passing. Mike always had a smile and a story to tell. As a good friend to my brother, Steve, for over 40 years, I always liked to hear stories about "Ziggy". Steve told me this week that he never saw you two argue and you still held hands and were loving to each other like you were in high school. That in itself is amazing. He was a great friend to my brother which makes me very grateful. I was so happy to see you both at Steve's 50th birthday and will always have a smile when I think of Mike. I am sending prayers for you and your kids as I can't even imagine your pain. Tons of love, Lucy Charlton

I was lucky to have worked with Mike over many years here at J&J. He had a positive spirit and was always looking to bring joy and happiness to everyone around him. He would spend the time to connect and get to know everyone he worked with on a personal level. He would organize outings especially when we had international visitors around. I will miss the positivity, excitement and happiness he brought to everyone. Condolences to his wonderful family, May he rest in eternal peace.

Sad news when Janet let us know Mike had passed. I had the pleasure several months ago to spend time with Mike and we both talked at length about our religious faith. I knew that Mike was battling his cancer with both valor and an acceptance of the knowledge that his days were numbered. A wonderful neighbor and a perfect example of a life well lived. Our prayers are with Janet and the children as they struggle to accept their loss but with the knowledge that Mike would want them to continue on in happiness and optimism for the future.

I cannot tell you how much my heart hurts to hear this news. Mike was such a kind hearted individual and thought nothing of coming to my aid when my car broke down in college. His warm smile and helpful nature was his signature and I hope that you can continue his incredible legacy. I am grateful that our paths crossed when we were in high school.
You will be in my thoughts and prayers in the days ahead and I hope that the memories you shared together bring you peace.

He was family first and put everyone else first, was always positive and happy, and put everyone at ease. I always joked he was like the mayor of J&J. When you walked the halls with him, just about everyone would yell a “hey Mike” and wave. It’s a fitting example of how many people he touched. He will always be remembered for the great man he was.

First, my deepest condolences to Mikes Family. I worked with Mike and ended up in the cube opposite Mike for the better part of about 5 years, we always referred to the hallway between us as conference room Z. Given that all the rooms in our building at the time had a letter for a conference room, we felt that we owned the rights to the letter Z. We shared a common interest of the Pittsburgh Steelers and that always made for great conversations of how we would run things if we were in charge. After I left J&J I always made a point to find Mike when a new job brought me back to J&J occasionally and we would catch up on things. I am saddened by his passing and will miss the offbeat discussions with Zig. He was Mike Zig, and I was just Z. We had to do that to help those who were just looking for “Mike Z”, which happened more often than you would think. Rest In Peace my friend. Z….

It was also always fun talking to Mike about Nascar and racing, and I will never forget the time he invite me with his family to go to Nazareth for the last Nascar event held there, and after the race we all went up on the and stood on top of the roof of the announcers booth and take one last look around (until they chased us off). Mike you were also a fun guy, and someone who would do anything to help. You will be missed. RIP

I’m heartbroken to have heard of Mike’s passing. I was lucky enough to have helped him coach and watch him coaching the girls youth basketball teams in Kingwood. Mike had the biggest smile and displayed more enthusiasm than the players on the court. That was natural for him and beautiful for all of us to witness. I accompanied him, his daughters, my daughters, and a few of the other players to several Princeton University Women Basketball home games. It was just another way of Mike using his natural ability to put the girls first and team build at the same time. I will cherish those memories forever!!!!
I consider myself very lucky to have both met Mike and call him a friend.
May God bless your family during this difficult time. Heaven has acquired another angel much too early !!!!!!

My deepest condolences to all the family. Mike and I worked together at J&J and he always had time to stop by, say hello and catch up. We had so many laughs, we shared so many stories, but most important is we shared our love for our family and friends. He would always talk about his family. He would light up whenever he shared stories of getting away on vacation and the time spent with his family. I am so saddened but my heart is full when I think of him and the special person he was.

Mike was a wonderful person, a great coworker and a caring friend.
He always had a positive attitude, was sweet and funny. No matter how he felt, he asked how everyone was, even over the past two years when he was the one needing all the support.
Now God has one more angel, although just too young to be called back.
Janet, please accept our sincere condolences to you and your family.

We were just talking about "Zig" on one of our work calls -- he was a consummate professional, a great friend, and loved by all. I had the opportunity to work with Mike as a J&J vendor, and then became a friend with our shared affinity for the Flyers. It was clear Mike was loved by all -- even the ushers, security people, etc., at the Farg all loved Mike and his presence. I wish Mike's family and friends continued peace and prayers -- it never gets easier to lose someone like Mike. Know that he was loved and appreciated by many and his memory lives on!

What an amazing person! Mike can tease and make me feel ok about a mistake I just made.

My sincere condolences to Mike’s entire family. Mike and I worked together through the years and although I have not seen Mike in a bit of time since I left, when I heard the sad news my immediate reflection was one of him laughing and joking. Because we rarely were part of the same projects at work, our conversations were typically those of a personal nature, i.e. family, vacations, weekend plans, and of course sports - always sports. He was always smiling and up for a chat. Reading through the numerous messages left here, be it from family, friends and or work peers, the message and sentiments are all the same, we all may say it slightly different but all feel the same way - Mike was truly a genuine and good, good person and will be so missed.

Hi Janet,
I am so sorry to hear about Mike's passing. Mike always had a smile and a story to tell. As a good friend to my brother, Steve, for over 40 years, I always liked to hear stories about "Ziggy". Steve told me this week that he never saw you two argue and you still held hands and were loving to each other like you were in high school. That in itself is amazing. He was a great friend to my brother which makes me very grateful. I was so happy to see you both at Steve's 50th birthday and will always have a smile when I think of Mike. I am sending prayers for you and your kids as I can't even imagine your pain. Tons of love, Lucy Charlton

Sad news when Janet let us know Mike had passed. I had the pleasure several months ago to spend time with Mike and we both talked at length about our religious faith. I knew that Mike was battling his cancer with both valor and an acceptance of the knowledge that his days were numbered. A wonderful neighbor and a perfect example of a life well lived. Our prayers are with Janet and the children as they struggle to accept their loss but with the knowledge that Mike would want them to continue on in happiness and optimism for the future.

First, Janet and family, please accept my heart felt condolences. Mike was one of the best people I’ve ever met. He was family first and put everyone else first, was always positive and happy, and put everyone at ease. I always joked he was like the mayor of J&J. When you walked the halls with him, just about everyone would yell a “hey Mike” and wave. It’s a fitting example of how many people he touched. He will always be remembered for the great man he was.

First, my deepest condolences to Mikes Family. I worked with Mike and ended up in the cube opposite Mike for the better part of about 5 years, we always referred to the hallway between us as conference room Z. Given that all the rooms in our building at the time had a letter for a conference room, we felt that we owned the rights to the letter Z. We shared a common interest of the Pittsburgh Steelers and that always made for great conversations of how we would run things if we were in charge. After I left J&J I always made a point to find Mike when a new job brought me back to J&J occasionally and we would catch up on things. I am saddened by his passing and will miss the offbeat discussions with Zig. He was Mike Zig, and I was just Z. We had to do that to help those who were just looking for “Mike Z”, which happened more often than you would think. Rest In Peace my friend. Z….

It was also always fun talking to Mike about Nascar and racing, and I will never forget the time he invite me with his family to go to Nazareth for the last Nascar event held there, and after the race we all went up on the and stood on top of the roof of the announcers booth and take one last look around (until they chased us off). Mike you were also a fun guy, and someone who would do anything to help. You will be missed. RIP

I’m heartbroken to have heard of Mike’s passing. I was lucky enough to have helped him coach and watch him coaching the girls youth basketball teams in Kingwood. Mike had the biggest smile and displayed more enthusiasm than the players on the court. That was natural for him and beautiful for all of us to witness. I accompanied him, his daughters, my daughters, and a few of the other players to several Princeton University Women Basketball home games. It was just another way of Mike using his natural ability to put the girls first and team build at the same time. I will cherish those memories forever!!!!
I consider myself very lucky to have both met Mike and call him a friend.
May God bless your family during this difficult time. Heaven has acquired another angel much too early !!!!!!
