Michael passed on Sunday, July 7, 2019 after a long illness at the age of 34. He was surrounded by his family and close friends.

Michael was born in San Francisco, grew up in Antioch where he and his friends spent most of his childhood filming EVERTHING they did. He always had a fascination with film and the arts and evolved into an amazing artist, set designer, and short film maker with a unique eye and incredible talent. His very presence made him loved by everyone who met him, and he will be remembered by all he came in contact with.

He will especially be remembered by his mom Cynthia, dad Vince, sister Jessica, uncle Russ (Patti) Belleci, Harry (Barbara) Dillon, Gary (Janette) Aiello, many many cousins, as well as many loving friends and collaborators, not limited to Christina Molcillo , Chris Harrison, and the rest of the crew at the Mansion in Oakland who will remember him as influential, creative, funny, and stubborn.

Very special thanks to Dr, Ann Petru , Teresa, and Kim at CHO Oakland who loved and cared for Michael as a child and their collaboration this past month.
