In loving memory of a remarkable man, Michael, who touched so many lives with his kindness, strength, and unwavering love. Married to Christine for 53 beautiful years, they shared a lifetime of memories, laughter, and love that serves as a testament to their enduring bond. Together, they built a family full of love, raising four children—Anthony, Jason, Joe, and Sarah—each of whom carries forward the values and spirit he instilled in them.

Michael had a deep love for country and western music, a passion that mirrored the way he lived his life—honest, heartfelt, and full of soul. The melodies of his favorite songs were the soundtrack to countless family moments, and the lyrics often seemed to echo his own values of love, hard work, and dedication to family.

He was more than just a fan of country music; he lived the stories those songs told. His greatest pride was his family, and nothing brought him more joy than being surrounded by his children and grandchildren, watching them grow, and sharing in their lives. His love was a constant, steady as a country tune, and it’s a love that will echo in our hearts forever.

Michael’s presence in our lives was a gift, and while we miss him deeply, we find comfort in the memories we’ve shared and the lessons he taught us. His legacy lives on in each of us—in the way we love, in the music that brings us comfort, and in the strength we find in one another.

Though he may no longer be with us in body, his spirit remains a guiding force, reminding us to cherish each other, to find joy in the simple things, and to love fiercely, just as he did. We love you, Dad , and we miss you more than words can say.

Rest in peace, until we meet again.
