Michael Donald Vallejo Emparan passed away unexpectedly in 2026 at the age of 33. He was a beloved son, brother, uncle, grandson, and friend whose kindness, warmth, and joyful spirit touched many lives.
Michael was loved by those closest to him for his loyalty, humor, and loving nature. He had a joyful presence and a laugh that could fill a room. Deeply devoted to his Catholic faith, he approached life full-heartedly, with a sincere care for others. An Eagle Scout, Michael carried with him a lifelong appreciation for service, responsibility, and the outdoors. He is lovingly remembered by his family and friends, who will continue to hold his memory close.
Michael’s family finds comfort in his faith and in the love and memories he leaves behind. “Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.”
A memorial service in his honor will be held at Whitehurst Sullivan Blair and Burns on Saturday, March 14th. Please reach out to the family at [email protected] if you will be attending.
