Mijel Brazlavsky's Obituary
BRAZLAVSKY, Mijel, 80, lived a wonderful life with his wife of over 57 years Zilia, his children Gilda, Dora and Phillip, his son-in-laws Steve and Mitchell, his daughter-in-law Jodi and his grandchildren Erika, Sean, Garret, Eryn and David. Born in Havana, Cuba in 1934, he brought his young family to Miami Beach in 1963. A giving, loyal man of great pride and integrity, Mijel was a highly respected leader in the South Florida community and the devoted patriarch of his loving family. He started his professional life as a manufacturer and then seller of men's apparel. After selling the business, he became the Executive Director of Temple Menorah in Miami Beach and then the Miami-Dade Chapter of the American Institute of Architecture. Though a hard-working business man, his family was always his main priority. With his beloved wife, he spread his love to his 3 children, now thriving members of the South Florida community, and was a very strong nurturing influence on all five of his grand-children. Mijel was a great man that set an inspiring example for others. He was a mensch of mensch and will live on in the hearts and souls of those that were blessed to have known him.
