It is with extreme sadness that we announce the passing of Michael Stapleton. His loss will be felt tremendously by his 3 daughters, Kate, Jenna and Laura. As well as his brother Mark, sister Lynn and step children, my brother Bryan and I.

Michael and Julie were married for 25 years. As you can imagine, his loss will have a devastating impact on Julie as well. They had many wonderful adventures together. From sailing to Catalina island, camping, spending time with friends and weekend getaways to Ventura. Anyone who knew Michael knows that he was passionate, full of life and fire. He loved good food, fishing and of course sailing. Michales always had a joke to share or a story about his travels around the world.

Michael was the primary provider for his family. Please consider donating to the Stapleton family to help with funeral costs and the daily cost of living. No amount is too little.
