Michael brought joy, laughter, and love to those who knew him. He was an avid reader and passionate Lego builder, he found joy in simple pleasures—whether it was piecing together a new Lego set, diving into a good book, or spending time laughing with his family. He also enjoyed running and hiking which helped provide peace of mind and personal fulfillment. Pasta was his favorite meal, a comfort food he never turned down. His enthusiasm and ability to storytell for Dungeons & Dragons games with his friends will be talked about and remembered for years to come.
Michael will be deeply missed, forever remembered for his creativity, his warmth, and the quiet grace with which he lived.
