In Memory of Michael: Help Fight Huntington's

Michael Olateru-Olagbegi Jr., passed away on Sunday, April 27th, 2025, after a courageous battle with Huntington’s Disease. He was a beloved son, brother, friend, and a bright light in the lives of all who knew him.

Born on May 7th, 2000, Michael brought joy and energy to the world from the moment he arrived. He had a brilliant mind, a kind heart, and a unique spirit that left a lasting mark on everyone he met.

Michael cherished his early school years at Stonewall Tell Elementary and Sandtown Middle School in Atlanta, GA, later completing middle school at Nichols Middle School in Evanston, IL. He attended Evanston Township High School and graduated from Noblesville High School in Noblesville, IN. Michael proudly earned his degree from Purdue University in 2023 and was a devoted member of the Delta Tau Delta fraternity at Purdue’s West Lafayette campus.

In his honor, we ask that you donate to the Huntington's Disease Society of America, in the hope that no one else has to endure this burden.
