Michael Jess Jacinto
January 20, 1953 February 14, 2018
Resident of Danville
Entered into rest on February 14, 2018 at the age of 65. Loving husband to Mary Robertson of Danville and stepfather to Ryan Burgess (Nicole) of Rocklin. Cherished son to Billie Jacinto of Fremont. Beloved brother to Terry Jacinto of Sacramento, Karen Jacinto of Fremont, Denise Jacinto of Fremont, Sandra and John Winslow of VA, and Suzanne Jacinto of Fremont. Treasured uncle to Michael, Patricia (Richard), Alexis, Mandee, Jessica, Kyle, Nicole, and Kelly. Proud great-uncle to Tyler, Bailey, Cain, Benjamin, Delilah, Brianna, Alexa, Brandon, Aiden, and Dylen. Cherished brother-in-law to Mike Robertson (Sheila) and son-in-law to Emma Robertson. Predeceased by his beloved father Jess Jacinto in 2008.
Born January 20, 1953 in San Jose, Mike grew up in Fremont and graduated from Washington High School in 1971. He was an excellent student and highly decorated three sport athlete, lettering in football, baseball, and soccer, and was named the 1970-71 MVAL Athlete of the Year. Later, a devoted and active alumnus, he was the founding member of the Washington High School Alumni Foundation. He went on to play quarterback for Cal State Hayward and was recognized for his successes when he was inducted in the school's Hall of Fame in 1988. Mike's lifelong passion for sports—namely the Giants and the 49ers—and commitment to the lessons he learned on the field were a driving force in his life.
Mike was a highly accomplished and respected businessman—first as a successful realtor having won the Bay East REALTOR® of the Year Award in 1988 and then as a business owner, founding the Jacinto Mortgage Group nearly 30 years ago. In addition to earning several leadership awards, he served many years on the Bay East Board of Directors prior to being elected as President in 1990. He also served on the California Association of REALTORS® Board of Directors. He was respected by all who knew him for his dedication to his work, clients, colleagues, and the East Bay communities he served.
Mike was a committed family man, a loyal friend, a decorated athlete, a leader in his community, and an honorable, devoted businessman. He will be missed beyond measure.
A celebration of his life will be held on Saturday, February 24, 2018 at 1 p.m. at Bridges Community Church, 505 Driscoll Road, Fremont, 94539. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Washington High School Alumni Foundation.
