Godfather to his nephew Joseph McDonald and great uncle to Amélie and Noah Davenport, also survived by his many cousins in the O’Neill clan and extended friends and family who will miss him immensely.

Michael enjoyed the outdoors, having been a carpenter in Washington State and a member of the Northwest Carpenter’s Union. Michael also loved the mountains and lived in West Chicago Creek and Georgetown, CO while working in the Climax Molybdenum Mine in Lake County, CO beside Fremont Pass. In most recent years Michael served as the unofficial host for all activities at his Senior Living apartments, calling Bingo and instituting the “snack program” in the recreation room.  Beyond playing chess and cards with his fellow residents. Michael was a huge sports aficionado, and most often could be seen wearing his Eagles jacket or Phillies baseball cap (or both!) when making his rounds.
