Celebration of Life & Final Expenses for Michael

Donation protected
Hello Everyone,
My name is Joseph Mendoza, and I am Michael’s youngest brother. It saddens us to share that on 09/01/24, my brother suddenly passed away, and the Good Lord welcomed him home to his final resting place. My family and I are creating this fundraiser to help us during this difficult time of my brother Michael’s passing. Many of you may know Michael from growing up in the city of Placentia & Yorba Linda, or even going to school with him at St. Joseph’s, Servite, or Valencia High School Class of 92’. Everywhere he went, he was sure to make friends. Michael had one of those playful personalities that made him fun to be around. He was a caring Son, a Brother, a Husband, a Father, and a Friend to many. This man lived a tough life at times, but that’s what made him who he was. Unfortunately, living that tough life left him with some poor health conditions, which ultimately led to his liver failing and his body not being strong enough to keep going. It was a very short time, from being diagnosed with Liver Disease, to him fighting for his life. It weighs heavy on our family, that this battle, he was not able to win. Michael leaves behind his three children, Michael, Michelle, & Joseph, his granddaughter Nova, and his Wife Karina. We are still in the process of making all the final arrangements, but per Michael's wishes, he will be cremated. As soon as we have all the details, we will notify those who wish to join us, of the time and location for his Celebration of Life. We know times are rough for many of us right now, but this fundraiser will help our family with any final expenses/costs and give my Brother the "Celebration of Life" he would have wanted. We ask that everyone please share this fundraiser with all family and friends. Michael always had a story to tell, of experiences he shared/had with everyone; so we encourage you to comment a short memory or loving remembrance of my brother with each donation. We truly appreciate everyone and their willingness to help our family in this time of need. We thank all of you from the bottom of our hearts.
