Obituary of Michael Hazlitt

Michael Hazlitt passed away on June 25, 2018, in Olympia, Washington, at the age of 67.

A native of Olympia, Mike graduated from St. Martin’s High School in 1968. He was a Land Surveyor with the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Mike began his career with DNR on January 1, 1970, and retired on December 31, 2004, after 35 years.

Mike was a man who loved everyone and whom everyone loved back. To know the man, you know his mannerisms: the quick comeback, the eye brow wiggle, and the laugh. A friend to all, Mike was always wanting to give back. You’d see this extension of him in many forms. It could come as lending a truck, an ear, or ever-astounding years of wisdom. Knowledge and wisdom, two words that only begin to describe Mike’s depth.

He embraced life and filled his time with things he enjoyed: Walking his sidekick, Lexi. Spending time with old friends or making new ones, as he always did. Playing or watching golf. Racing sailboats with his crew. The old favorites—yardwork, watching movies, and reading. Finally, Huskies football, enough said.

Mike will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 35 years, Tammi (Wright); son, Bobby Sorger; daughters, Nicki Sorger and Niki Kane; granddaughter, Isabella Zanetti; and sister, Babs McLaughlin. Mike was predeceased by his father, Ben Hazlitt; mother, Millie (Krick); and beloved pup, Lexi.
