Michael Mead
March 16, 1976 — March 18, 2016
On March 18, 2016, Michael Leo Mead, 40, was tragically taken from all of us.
Michael was born on March 16, 1976 in Patchogue, NY. He attended Moorpark High School and Moorpark Community College, and received his Bachelor’s Degree from San Diego State University.
Michael has been praised numerous times for his all-embracing capacity for kindness and generosity. His compassion for the elderly and less fortunate was exemplified when his grandparents were ill, visiting all of them many times. He would sit with them and just talk, helping them to get through what would have been many painful and lonely days. Michael spent nights at homeless shelters ensuring that everyone had a warm blanket and a safe place to sleep. After spending all night he would make and serve them breakfast. In the past several years, Michael found a spiritual side to his life, regularly attending Mass and joining the Knights of Columbus, whose main commitment is helping those in need. Mike loved children and he loved his nieces and nephews; they said he was the best babysitter ever! Mike filled up the room when he entered it and he made us laugh; our hearts are broken. We will miss him terribly.
Mike was preceded in death by his grandparents Anne and Herb Bansbach, Ellie and John Mead, and Carolyn Casey. Michael is survived by his mother and stepfather Nancy and Tim Casey, his father John Mead, Jr., his brother Jake Mead and his wife Michelle, his niece and nephew Noelle and Tyler Mead, his stepbrother Tim Casey and his wife Shawna, his nephew and niece Dylan and Makena Casey, and his stepbrother Seth Casey. Mike was part of a large family and is also survived by numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.
