It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of a great leader, personal mentor, friend, and Wingman, the former 127th Wing Commander, Brig. Gen. (Ret.) Michael Peplinski. General Peplinski served as an active duty officer for nearly 20 years before joining the Air National Guard in his home state of Michigan in 1999. He was a command pilot with more than 3,200 hours flying both the F-16 and the KC-135. He retired in June of 2011, having served his state and nation for more than 32 years. However, he didn’t stop there, he continued to advocate for all military members and was a stalwart supporter of Selfridge Air National Guard Base. He was an active member of the Selfridge Base Community Council. He also served the Michigan Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve, a DoD program promoting cooperation and understanding between all service members and their civilian employers. Rest in Peace Sir.
Visitation will be Monday, August 23 from 2 to 8 p.m. at the Lee-Ellena Funeral home. General Peplinski’s funeral service will be Tuesday, August 24 at 11 a.m. at the Colonial Woods Missionary Church and his military honors will be at 9 a.m. Wednesday, August 25 at the Great Lakes National Cemetery.
