Michael was a US Marine Veteran and a proud patriot. He enjoyed his days riding motorcycles and hanging out with his fellow riders. He loved his grandchildren and children with a stubborn and sometime brassiness that outsiders wouldn’t understand. He loved sports, namely, football, NASCAR, basketball, and baseball. After becoming a double amputee he really enjoyed just getting in he car and going for rides, with no particular destination in mind. He was an animal lover and loved babies, they brought him joy and made him smile.

Michael will be missed and his spirit will carry on though his family and loved ones.

Ride In Peace Michael Patrick Mandola.
