Michael Jon Staples

MICHAEL JON STAPLES, born February 9, 1997 in San Francisco, California to Jon and Amy Wagner Staples, passed away suddenly on September 24, 2016. For the nineteen years he was with us, Michael was the greatest gift his family ever received. He was completely immersed in his family, friends, and the local hockey community. Michael was a dedicated teammate, genuine friend, irreplaceable brother, and beloved son. Although he was summoned to our Lord at such a young age, the effects of his unbelievable ability to connect with others will remain with us forever. His random thought process and infectious smile will be so missed. Michael was a warrior. He graduated from Coppell High School in Coppell, Texas in 2015. Michael continued his education at North Lake Community College and began his sophomore year in the fall of 2016.
