Michael was born Michael William Parris on May 20th 1965, in Devonshire Bermuda. He was affectionately known as Uncle Mikey or Unc to many of the people in his life. Michael has one older sister, one older brother and one younger brother.
He and his family moved to North Carolina in 1974. He moved back to Bermuda for a couple of years in his late teens. In his early 20's Michael moved to South Florida. In the summer of 1991 while at the mall Michael saw a beautiful Italian girl working a Kiosk. He bought her a single rose and introduced himself to Barbara. They have been together thru thick and thin for passed 30 years.
Michael and Barbara moved to Lake Mary in 2006 to be closer to Michael's immediate family. Michael's family embraced them and have always adored Barbara. The couple never married or had children but they have always been there for their nieces and nephews and now great nieces and nephews.
Michael will be greatly missed. He was a larger than life personality. Never sugar coated things. Always wanted to know where people were from. He broke all the rules and danced to his own drum. His passions were cars and plants. Cancer took Michael way too young.

Embrace you,
