Michael was blessed to have many wonderful aunts and uncles, cousins, neighbors and friends with whom he was very close. Michael had Cystic Fibrosis so he knew his time was precious, so lived his life like every day was his last. He loved everyone to the fullest and did everything at full throttle. Where most people were just alive, Michael truly knew how to live. He was employed at Sandia Labs. He was a lover of nature, an avid hunter and loved mountain biking, 4-wheeling, and motorcycling. He was a real adventurer. Michael touched the lives of many people, and taught them so many things. In his short life, he garnered many dear friends who, along with his family, will miss Michael profoundly. We would like to thank the Tucson Family and Tabet Family for their assistance and support in bringing Michael home from Mexico and helping us through this tough time. Services are set for Monday June 11, 2012 at 1:00 p.m. at French, Westside Chapel. Please join us to celebrate his life and accomplishments. The family would like to request in lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Michael's name to the Cystic Fibrosis Association, P.O. Box 16232, ABQ NM 87191.
