Michael is a devoted husband to Sydney and a loving father to Parker, who is almost 3, and Willow, who is 1 1/2. He just turned 47 and celebrated his 4th wedding anniversary with Sydney this month. On September 10th, Michael received the heartbreaking diagnosis of stage 4 pancreatic cancer. The news has deeply affected his family, and he started chemotherapy on the 12th. His health has already significantly declined, and the doctors have shared that he likely doesn’t have much time left with them. Right now, their focus is on cherishing every moment together and making lasting memories as a family.

Michael has always been the kind of person who puts family first—whether it's spending time with his own children, supporting his nieces and nephews, or sharing his love of soccer with those around him. His warmth and generosity have touched many lives, and now his family needs support more than ever.

Family and friends are coming together to visit, offer comfort, and help Michael, Sydney, Parker, and Willow make the most of their time together. Any support—whether through prayer or giving—will help ease the financial strain and allow them to focus on what matters most: being together. Your kindness will mean so much to Michael's family during this incredibly tough time, and every gesture of support is deeply appreciated.
