Early in the morning of October 10, 2026, Michael David John, age 81, was promoted to Heaven after a long and difficult journey, ultimately succumbing to chronic respiratory failure. Michael was born in Yakima, Washington, and spent most of his life in California. In 2008, he moved to Arizona, where he passed away peacefully at home. He was preceded in death by his father, Ray; his mother, Dee; his brother, Larry; and his nephew, Darrin. Michael is survived by his beloved wife, Denise; his daughter, Lindsay, and son-in-law, Neil Gomez; his grandchildren, Kylie and Dominic; his son, Edward, and daughter-in-law, Zamara; his grandsons, Gabriel, Matthew, and Nathaniel; and his great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his sister, Rita; his nephew, Derek; and his sister-in-law, Sherylynn. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who knew and loved him. Michael worked as a salesman in the industrial plastics industry. Throughout his life, he enjoyed hunting, fishing, and boating at Lake Havasu and Big Bear, California, making memories with friends and family along the way. In accordance with Mike’s wishes, there will be no service at this time. A family memorial ceremony will be held at a later date. He will forever remain in the hearts of those who loved him.
