Michael Clementi Naiditch

Michael Clementi Naiditch passed away on September 2, 2025, in West Hills, California, peacefully in his home, at the age of 83. Born on October 22, 1941, in North Hollywood, California, Michael lived a life marked by dedication to family, service to his country and a passion for baseball.

Michael proudly served in the United States Navy as part of the Seabees from 1966 to 1968. During his military service, he was stationed in Da Nang during the Vietnam War. His time in the Navy reflected his strong sense of duty and resilience—qualities that remained with him throughout his life.

Michael is lovingly remembered by so many, and was a devoted father, and grandfather. He is survived by his daughters Kathleen Medina and Melissa Naiditch; his son David Naiditch; and his sister Alta Postar. He adored his three grandchildren—Rebekah Naiditch (Padilla), Audreea Naiditch, and Zachary Naiditch; he was also blessed with two great-grandchildren. His family brought him immense pride and joy.

Michael was preceded in death by his sister Sharon Aberg, his father Jack Naiditch, and his mother Rose Naiditch.

A true enthusiast of America’s pastime, Michael’s love for baseball extended beyond the stands and he could be found actively participating in softball teams around the San Fernando Valley up until the day of his passing. His enduring commitment to the sport exemplified both his vitality and spirited nature.

Michael’s legacy lives on through those who knew and loved him. May his memory bring comfort and inspiration to all whose lives he touched.
