You lived full throttle, and you loved with your whole heart.

Michael wasn’t the kind of soul who played it safe—he lived in the face of danger, chasing life with intensity and passion that most of us only dream of. Whether it was the roar of a motorcycle engine or the laughter of a child who adored their Uncle Michael, he was always all in.

He was a baby brother, a fierce friend, an unforgettable uncle. His sister shared, “They LOVED Uncle Michael. He lived as hard as he could and loved even harder. He lived in the face of danger most of his life. He was my baby brother, I was his protector… I couldn’t protect him from this.” Her words speak to the raw beauty of their bond, and the ache of a loss that came too soon.

Michael’s legacy is one of fearless living and boundless love. He reminded us to show up fully, to ride hard, and to never miss a chance to say “I love you.”

Let’s carry his legacy forward by doing just that.
