Michael was born in the Orange Memorial Hospital in Orlando, Florida on April 30, 1971.
Michael leaves behind his sister Michelle Knight, his niece Sophia Ode, and his mother, Irene Pacetti.
Michael grew up in Altamonte Springs, Florida where he touched the lives of many people. He played baseball and soccer. Michael loved to go deep sea fishing with his dad in the Florida Keys and enjoyed spending time with his friends. Michael attended Lyman High School and Valencia where he received an AA in Theater Production. He appeared in the play "The Sound of Music" where he met the love of his life.
When Michael realized what he enjoyed the most in his life, he bought several Corvairs and knew how to take them apart and put them back together. He eventually went on the VW's, Porsche's, and finally his (2) A4 Audi's. Michael loved his family and was always there for them. He was only a phone call away.
Michael was a gentleman. He always addressed the men in his life with a handshake, and a "sir." His close friends always get a big hug. Michael never left the house, hung up the phone, or completed a text without saying "I love you.
"
Michael decided to move to Lakeland, Florida in 2017. He told his mama that life was good there. With his outgoing personality, he set out to meet some extraordinary people in the small town of Lakeland. He told his mama stories of one man, in particular, that would take him out and introduce him to all his friends in town, have breakfast together, and sometimes work on various projects together in the backyard.
Michael never knew a stranger. Our Heavenly Father took Michael to be in Heaven on a sunny Thursday afternoon, while he was doing what he loved—fixing things! Motorcycles, cars, forklifts, etc. If it was broken, he could fix it! If he didn't know how, he would research the problem until he had the problem resolved.
Michael's sister, niece, and mama were the center of his life and he loved them unconditionally. Their lives will never be the same!
A celebration of Michael's life will be held on Saturday, March 14, 2020 at The Springs Clubhouse, 400 Woodbridge Rd., Longwood, FL 32779, where guests are welcome to visit anytime between 1:00 PM and 7:00 PM.
