| About | Resident of Santa Cruz Mike passed away on November 28 succumbing to a rare lung disease. He went peacefully with his wife Susan and friend Robin by his side showering him with hugs and kisses for the road ahead. Mike was a soulful, big-hearted guy who lived life to the fullest, always ready for the next adventure. He loved to laugh, believed the best in people and was generous to a fault. Although the disease damaged his body, Mike's spirit remained strong. He will be sorely missed by his loving wife, his daughter Tammy, son-in-law David, granddaughter Alyssa, grandson Dawson, the Fiesta Amigas and his many friends. |
