Michael was a thoughtful and generous man whose unbounded love, enthusiasm for life, and ever-present happiness touched everyone he knew.

Michael also enjoyed playing video games and reading, especially The Lord of the Rings, and had a lifelong love for Batman. He was a strong advocate for mental health awareness, adored penguins, and cherished the joy of Christmas. Loving sunshine, music, and riding his motorcycle, Michael ended every conversation with an “I love you,” a reflection of the unmatched love he had for his family and friends. He also held a special place in his heart for Cuda Steaks and More steak nights. Michael was dearly loved and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
