Our friend Michael William Gereau — “Mikey” —passed away on July 21st after a tragic accident. His loss is deeply felt by everyone who knew him.

Mikey was hilarious, kind, and incredibly generous. He had a way of making you laugh with your whole soul, and our family shared many belly laughs with him in the years we were blessed to know him. Mikey moved to Grass Valley about six years ago to be closer to his daughter Heather and his granddaughters, Ashlynn and Shaylynn, who meant everything to him.

He loved riding his e-bike and spent much of his time volunteering at Sierra E-Bike, where he became like family. He was always happy to help anyone who came through the door. Mikey also had a deep bond with his dog, May May—his special companion. She passed not long ago, and it brings comfort knowing they’re together again.

Mikey had some ongoing health challenges with his heart and lungs, but he was a fighter and never let that slow him down. He was also the kind of person who would give someone in need the food off his plate even if he was starving. He gave so much of himself to the people around him—always ready to help, share, or just be there.

We’re raising funds to help his family with some of the unexpected costs they’re now facing, including cremation, a celebration of life, and recovery of his e-bike. Supporting his daughter and granddaughters during this time is something we know Mikey would’ve cared about deeply.

If you’re able to donate or share, it would mean so much. This is a beautiful way to give back to a man who gave so much to so many without hesitation.

Thank you for your love, your prayers, and your support.
We love yous, Mikey.

With gratitude,
