Michael Glen Pablo Sr.

Michael was a proud father and grandfather, and his greatest joy in life was his family. He was a dedicated fisherman who found peace and purpose on the water. Fishing was not just a livelihood; it was a way of life he carried with pride.

In addition to fishing, Michael was a talented carver, served on the Fish Commission, and was a skilled carpenter. He was a natural leader, someone who was never afraid to stand up, speak out, and represent his people. Whether in a meeting or a room full of others, he spoke with confidence and pride, from his heart.

Michael is survived by his eight children: Michael Jr. (Taylor), Mikaylee (Nyamel), Ruth, JC, Lincoln, Madison, James, and Paiten; and his beloved granddaughter, Xeraya.

He is also survived by his parents, Teresa Sligar and Dan Pablo Sr. (Stephanie); his siblings, Summer White (Kanim), Dan Pablo Jr. (Kelsie), Nicole Pablo, Cory Pablo (Samantha), Stan Rude (Shandra), Destiny Sligar, Jennifer Youngblood, and Jessey Price; his nieces and nephews: Anthony (Michelle), Rielly, Sierra, Terren, Keldan, Kileea, Kalese, Kaylani, Eternity, Jimya, Daylen, Jimmy Jr., Summer, Violet, Alexis, Jezi, Max, and Emma; and many great nieces and nephews.

Michael was preceded in death by his grandparents: Louis Pablo Sr., Leota Pablo, Violet “Speedy” Parks, Orivelle Harrison, Glen Parks, and Elida Parks.

Michael will be remembered as a leader, a man who carried himself with pride and spoke for those he represented. His legacy lives on through his children, granddaughter, family, and the traditions he upheld.
