On Aug. 10th 2021 at 8:07pm, my Step-Dad Michael peacefully passed away. Only a week ago he was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer when he suddenly went to urgent care for shortness of breath. Who knew that would be the last time he would be home. I know he is watching over all of us and wants us to continue to live life to the fullest and be happy, cherishing every day like it's our last.

Michael was a loving husband, father, son, brother, uncle, and grandpa. Michael had gone through some rough time in his life, but over the years, had made tremendous changes. The relationship he had with my mom was such an amazing thing to watch. They were always so happy together and traveled to make memories. Michael, you will be truly missed.
