August 3, 1981 — June 7, 2021

"Big Mike," age 39, passed away peacefully in his sleep on June 7, 2021. A lifelong resident of Akron, he graduated from St. Vincent-St. Mary High School in 2000. He was a gentle giant, loved by all, with an infectious laugh and smile. He had a huge heart and gave the best hugs ever. He was artistically talented, enjoying painting, carving, and playing guitar. He was an excellent cook, and friends and family looked forward to his culinary creations. He was a wonderful father, son, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin, and friend and will be sadly missed by all.
