On September 6th, 2025, our family suffered an unimaginable loss when Michael passed away unexpectedly at his home. His passing has left a hole in our hearts that can never be filled.

Mike wasn’t just a brother, an uncle, or a friend—he was the kind of person who would give you the shirt off his back, crack a joke to lighten the mood, and make you feel like family whether you were or not. He lived with a generous spirit and always found a way to brighten the lives of those around him.

My mom, Christina, was incredibly close to Mike. They shared a bond that was more than just siblings—they were best friends. She would never ask for help herself, but I know the weight she is carrying right now. On top of grieving the loss of her brother, she is left to cover funeral and celebration of life costs.

That’s why I am creating this GoFundMe. We want to give Uncle Mike the farewell he deserves: a funeral and a celebration filled with love, laughter, and memories of the man who touched so many lives.

If you knew Mike, or even just know my mom, you know how selfless and giving they both are. Any donation, no matter how small, will help us honor his life the way he deserves. And if you are not able to give, simply sharing this page means the world to us.

From our family to yours, thank you for your love, support, and kindness during this difficult time.
