(Thanks to Alison Roberts for the following memorial)
"Michael was stronger than anyone could have imagined. He was a fighter and fought through so many battles just to make it to the next day. But, a fighter was just the first thing you should know about Michael. He was a carpenter/woodworker/cabinet maker and loved to build things with his hands. He was a cook and loved to feed those that he loved. He was a “mountain man” and loved seeing all the beauty in Colorado. He was a comedian and always had a joke for an occasion. He was the man that brought my mom so much happiness. I can not begin to explain the bond my mom and Michael have had throughout their lives. I wish that people could experience a fraction of the connection they had for each other. "
Michael loved his music. Accomplished player of the drums; guitar and most talented singer. Loved all his children and grandchildren and their families. So proud and "braggadocious" of all his family and loved ones. He was a true friend. Loyal and considerate to all he cared about. He was unique in his ways and most sincere in his heart. Old fashioned and grateful to be the Baby Boomer that he was and a very proud man.
"Michael you have fought more than anyone could ever ask.... like my nephew said 'he will always live in our hearts”. May God bless you Michael as you watch over my mom and all of us." Written by Alison Roberts about her step-father.
We will always remember you - In loving and eternal memory of Michael J. Schwartz Sr.
