On Saturday, April 18, 2026, our family's world was turned upside down. My Aunt Alicia and Uncle Marcelo lost their beloved son, Michael, my cousin, who tragically passed away from injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident. He was only 19 years old and was just beginning the next chapter of his life.

Michael was a hardworking, kind, and dedicated young man who took pride in everything he did. He was studying business at RVCC while working as a front-end supervisor at Aqui Supermarket in Califon. His calm and steady personality made people feel at ease. He found joy in simple things—riding motorcycles, playing soccer, fishing, and being around the people he loved most. His family meant everything to him.

The pain of this loss is unimaginable for our family. Michael leaves behind his parents, his younger brother, his grandparents, and many aunts, uncles, and cousins who will forever miss him.

Following this tragic accident, we are coming together to honor Michael's life and support his family with unexpected medical expenses. The fundraiser has been created to help ease the burden.

If you feel moved to contribute, any amount is appreciated. Sharing this page or keeping Michael and his family in your thoughts and prayers is just as meaningful.

Thank you for helping us remember Michael and support the people who loved him.

With much love,

Jacob Weiss
