We are heartbroken to share that the man, the myth, the legend, Michael Respass, has passed away unexpectedly due to a stroke.

This sudden loss has left a hole in our hearts that can never be filled. Michael was someone who brought light, laughter, and love wherever he went. Whether you knew him as family, a friend, or just someone you crossed paths with once, chances are he made an impression you’ll never forget.

We’re planning a memorial and celebration of life to honor him the way he lived—with stories, warmth, and community. No suits or somberness—just love, memories, and a chance to say goodbye together.

The memorial will be from 12pm to 2pm  at Joseph Levine and Sons Memorial Chapel-Trevose (4737 Street Road, Trevose, PA 19053) on July 31, 2025 and then a celebration of life right after the memorial at Fireside Inn (237 Elmwood Ave, Feasterville, PA 19053) with food provided and drinks available at a cash bar (Coors Light bucket deals will be available in his honor).

We’re asking for help to cover the costs of the memorial. Any contribution, no matter the amount, will help ease the financial burden and allow us to create something truly special in his memory.

If you’re unable to give, simply sharing this page or sending a kind word means the world to us. Thank you for being part of his story—and ours.

With love and gratitude,

—The Respass Family
