Michael Lagana

Michael Lagana, 75, of Franklin Township died on Tuesday July 29, 2025 at home. Born in Brooklyn, New York he lived in Edison before moving to Franklin. A member of the NRA, he loved the open road, the American flag, and Satski’s ribs.

He is survived by his daughter and son-in-law Marie and James Holovacko; his siblings Diane Djamoos and her husband Greg, Kathleen Smerko and her husband Robert and Scott Walsh; his grandson Austin Holovacko; and many nieces and nephews.

Michael will be missed but never forgotten. With every roaring motorcycle engine and every flutter of the flag, his spirit lives on.
