Michael Thomas Migliore

Michael joined the Lakewood Township First Aid and Emergency Squad in 1978 as a volunteer and then began his full time EMS career in 1985, where he served the needs of the community for 26 years before his retirement in 2011. During his career with the Lakewood EMS, he held roles as a line officer, captain and first responder.

A lifelong musician, Michael enjoyed playing in many bands over the years with fellow rockers along the Jersey Shore. He also wrote, composed, and performed on his own album " RAM - By the Horns" which was released in 1995.

Michael enjoyed music, watching wrestling, his cats, good food, conversation and cooking for friends and family. He loved making people laugh and always wanted to bring a smile to everyone he met.

He is survived by his only daughter, Colleen M. Jowett, several nephews, a cousin and close friends who will miss him and his laughter dearly.

A memorial service for the celebration for the life of Michael will be held on January 28, 2026 at 10:00 am at Christ Episcopal Church, 415 Washington Street, Toms River, NJ.

In lieu of flowers, donation may be made to Christ Episcopal Church Memorial Fund in memory of Michael.
