Michael V. DePace

Michael Vincent DePace, May 14, 1951 .. January 13, 2017 died peacefully in his home in Fountain, CO surrounded by his family after a lengthy cancer illness. Michael was the beloved and devoted husband to Mary R. (Pavese) DePace and father to Nicole, Carrianna, and Michael John. He is also survived by his brothers, Bill and Richard, and his sister, Michelle. He is predeceased by his mother Anna (Stone) and his father Michael John. Michael lived for his family and he enjoyed nothing more than being surrounded by his family and friends and enjoying a good meal and a good time in his home.

Michael was the proud proprietor and owner of DePace Siding, LLC and enjoyed driving around Colorado seeing his imprint on the ever-changing cities and sprawling housing developments. He was even more proud to have been able to provide so many an opportunity to excel in their trades and earn a good living for their families. We will always be proud of the work that his hands did for our family and the intelligence and determination that he displayed while keeping his business thriving even through the housing crisis in 2008.

One of his greatest loves was nature and he was an avid fisherman and hunter. He was most happy when his line was dropped in the water and only happier when he watched one of his kids reel in the big one. He spent his vacation time traveling extensively in Colorado setting up hunting camps and chartering deep sea fishing boats on the coasts. Michael instilled in his children a sense of reverence for nature, hard work, and the value of family and friends.

A Celebration of Life will be held on January 28, 2017 from 2- 4pm at the Cheyenne Mountain Resort.
