Michael J. Kravitz

June 8, 2023 By Hans Funeral Home 3 Condolences

Michael

ROCKLEDGE, FL – Michael J. Kravitz, age 68, of Rockledge, FL and formerly of Albany, NY passed away unexpectedly on May 30, 2023.  Mike was a graduate of Vincentian Institute in Albany and a 1980 graduate of Union College with a Bachelor of Science in Engineering.  Mike was an exceptional civil engineer, who worked on numerous public infrastructure projects throughout New York, California and Florida during his more than 40-year engineering career.    He was also an avid baseball fan and former stand-out baseball and softball player.  But most of all, Mike was genuinely a “good guy” —always encouraging others and possessing an easy laugh and a good sense of humor.  Mike will be dearly missed by his family, his long-time grade school and high school friends, and his work colleagues in Florida.

Mike was predeceased by his parents Milton B. Kravitz and Mary R. Kravitz; his brother John Nettleton; and his sister-in-law Regina Nettleton.  He is survived by his brother Edward Nettleton of Saratoga; his sister-in-law Margaret Nettleton of Arvada, CO; and his nephews Christopher Nettleton of Gibsonia, PA; Mark Nettleton of Grand Rapids, MI; John Nettleton of Seattle, WA; David Nettleton of Broadalbin, NY; Philip Nettleton of Glenmont, NY; Carlton Nettleton of Lisbon, Portugal; and Geoffrey Nettleton of Arvada, CO, as well as numerous cousins, and life-long friends.

Funeral services will be held in the Hans Funeral Home, 1088 Western Ave., Albany, Saturday morning at 11:00 a.m.  Relatives and friends are invited, and may call at the funeral home Saturday morning prior to the service beginning at 10:00 a.m.  Interment will be in Memory Gardens, Colonie.  In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial contributions to the American Cancer Society. To leave a message of condolence for the family or obtain directions to the funeral home, please visit www.HansFuneralHome.com.

    Mike was a great kind and caring person. We were friends for 25 years. Mike and I used to train together and work out. I first met Mike at Golds Gym in Guilderland . Mike came to our wedding and I have many fond memories and pictures of Mike . He was a tremendous engineer and worked on many awesome projects . Most impressive was when he worked at NASA . May Mike rest in peace he was thoughtful and a kind human being.

    This was a tough loss for our engineering group here at the Kennedy Space Center, Mike was a great boss! I had the pleasure to work with him for close to 10 years. He was always quick with encouragement and a laugh.
