Michael C. Carbis

Michael C. “Mike” Carbis, 82, of Gurnee, Illinois, passed away peacefully on Monday, December 15, 2025, surrounded by loved ones.

Mike was born on January 14, 1943, in Cambridge, England. In 1990, his work brought him to the United States, where he soon met the love of his life. On April 13, 1992, he was united in marriage with his wife, Nancy, whom he met at the Backyard Steak Pit. For the 33 years they shared together, Mike always affectionately referred to her as his “Sweetheart.”

Mike spent many years working as an independent contractor with Domino Amjet (now Domino NA) before starting his own business, MN Jet Printer Services, in Gurnee. In retirement, he continued to stay active and connected to the community by driving a school bus for the Gurnee School District, a role he truly enjoyed.

Mike and Nancy shared a love of travel and created countless memories together over the years. Some of their favorite destinations included: San Antonio, Texas, where they were married, as well as Aruba, Las Vegas, Nevada, and Door County, Wisconsin.

Left to cherish his memory are his beloved wife, Nancy; his son, Colin Carbis; his daughter, Caroline Carbis; and his stepchildren, Brian (Robyn) Scott, Dawn (Mike) Shannon, and Keith (Dan Sivia) Scott. He is further survived by many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and friends.

A Celebration of Life memorial will be held on Sunday, December 28, beginning at 11:00 a.m. at Warren Funeral Home, with a service at 12:00 noon.
