ENUMCLAW, WASHINGTON — Michael John Roseleip, age 59, joined our Heavenly Father on Oct. 15, 2021, with his wife, Laura, son, Joe, and daughter-in-law, Jessica, by his side, following a short, yet courageous battle with cancer. Many family members gave support from afar due to the restrictions of COVID.
Mike (Rosey) was born the sixth child of Robert and Dorathy (Salomon) Roseleip, Jr. His early years were spent with the family on the dairy farm east of St. Ignatius. He graduated from St. Ignatius High School in 1980 where he was active in band, jazz band and the developing area of computer science. He enrolled at Montana State University in Bozeman, graduating in the field of Computer Science and Engineering. He was first employed by Boeing Companies, a global aerospace manufacturer. Then he moved on to Siemens AG, a focused technology corporation, where he worked with medical diagnostic equipment, traveling to numerous countries, including Germany.
The upstart company, DocuSign, was founded in 2003 and specializes in electronic signatures and digital transactions. Mike left the security of the large corporations and joined DocuSign as one of the first 100 employees. DocuSign went public in 2018 with over 6200 employees. Upon news of Mike’s passing, DocuSign has established an annual engineering award in his name.
Mike married the love of his life, Laura (Brocksom) Roseleip on May 27, 2000. He is survived by Laura, son, Joe (Jessica) Freier, and grandson, Michael (Mikey), all of Enumclaw, Washington; his siblings, Dennis (Dixie) Roseleip of Billings, Dave (Jan) Roseleip of Liberty Lake, Washington, Jerry (Billye) Roseleip of Deer Lodge, Julie (Matt) Indreland of Livingston, and Jeanne (Guy) Rasmussen of Helena, as well as his aunt, Linda (Roseleip) Werdin in Lewistown, his aunt, Dorothy (Kincel) Salomon of Olympia, Washington, and his uncle, Lawrence Cornelius of Ronan, and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.
Mike was preceded in death by parents Robert and Dorathy (Salomon) Roseleip, Jr.; grandparents Peter and Ina (Garbe) Salomon, Jr. and Robert and Marie (Wunderwald) Roseleip, Sr.; as well as his uncles, David Werdin and Irvin Salomon; and his aunt, Lorraine (Salomon) Cornelius.
