Michael was born in Chowchilla, CA on July 2, 1961 to Marvin Tuffs and Joan Deal. He graduated from Chowchilla High School in 1979. Michael was a devoted father and friend. He cared so much for those around him. He was even given the nickname Uncle Iggy from his customer, because he became like family when he worked on their pediatric wheelchairs. Michael had a passion for bowling and no matter where he lived he was a true Fresno State Bulldogs fan. He thoroughly enjoyed the outdoors something he passed on to his son, who will forever get to cherish those moments. Michael didn't lack compassion, and his fun-loving personality will be missed by his friends, family and all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
