Michael’s Story

Site created on October 28, 2019

In August 2019, Michael was unfortunately diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma. Although he battled courageously for the past year with the help of amazing doctors, nurses, and other health professionals, his illness was all too aggressive and we sadly lost him on July 31, 2020. His family and friends hope that the experience of his fight, in some small way at least, will help contribute to the medical research and advances in combatting this terrible disease.

Journal entry by Sean Maiers

Hello all, I'm sorry for the long lapse in updates - it was much easier to write them when there was hopeful news to share. But Michael took a turn downward in the past few months and transitioned to hospice just 3 days ago. He fought hard to the end, but sadly lost his battle today. He was surrounded by family in the comfort of our home, and thankfully passed quickly without a prolonged ordeal. Thank you to all our family and friends for their enduring love and support. Mike was a loving, generous, and supportive husband in addition to loyal friend, brother, son, uncle, and all-around sweet man who brightened so many lives and will not be forgotten. Be at peace, Michael. Love you dearly always - Sean
