I’m so sorry for your loss. Please private message me if there will be any services for Michael…several of his high school classmates would like to pay their respects ❤️
Sure Nena. I will have my son Gabriel (Michael’s cousin) send out a message when we have the info on Michael’s services.
I’m so sorry. I worked with him at Ross and he was always the nicest and funniest guy there. I was sad to see him part ways to go up north for school, but this breaks my heart.
My deep condolences to you & the family.??? you will be in my prayers.

Michael was such a good guy! Always full of smiles. I can’t believe it!! We used to skateboard in our early highschool years. I gave him a board a few months ago hoping we could catch up. Rest in Peace
Sorry for your loss Daniel.
Very sad. It’s a shame that this country has so few mental health programs for those suffering. End the stigma! Ask for help. Get others help.
What is up with all these suicide’s so tragic since I lived in scv in 1 year I already heard of 5 this year it just breaks my heart
Another loss heartbreaking my prayers are with his family
A lot of young kids taking their lives. We need more mental health access as well as more access to drug programs for the young. Often these young kids have started drugs at a young age, thus as they get older their is more likely hood of depression and anxiety which often can lead to suicide. I’m not saying this young man had a drug problem but even if as a young teenager he experented it could have a lasting affect causing later problems
We have a place in scv called child and family center that provides such services
Yes Colleen Littlefield we get services there… They have great therapists
So sad… RIP young man… My condolences for Family and friends…. Mental health help is so important for these young victims… Wish he could’ve found it on time ! ??

So sad. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.
Also pray for the poor person who hit this young man. How horrible for him or her.
:'(
I went to school with him, we were not friend, but he seemed to be a nice person. May he rest in peace.
I was heading to work last night, I saw the cover over the body and was so sad. I sure hope his family will recover from this, devastating.
He was in a couple of my classes in high school. He always made the classes entertaining and fun. Really sad to hear he passed. May he rest in peace.
Omg. I remember him…
I can’t believe this happened to him :(
Me either :(

Wow this is getting crazy. Valencia lives matter!
Yes they do :'(
Anyone know why?
Michael lived on my street and we were coworkers in high school. He was such a great guy and always laughing. Praying for him and his family~
This is sad. Please remember everyone is fighting a battle we know nothing about. Be kinder… Smile at strangers,make a conversation with someone who looks like they may be having a bad day… Be mindful. Everyone is so busy and thoughtless these days. Spread love, you may be saving someone’s life.
Well said!! I couldn’t agree more!!
That’s why I love u car! You have the sweetest caring things to say .. Rip to him and many prayers to his family and friends . no one knows the circumstances or struggles one has.
Very sad tragedy. We never know what’s behind the smile. Mental Health is a health crisis in this country. It’s time we start to treat it like one.
That’s right! We never know what’s behind the smile and kindness. Sometimes people who suffer depression are the ones helping others and most of the time hide their feelings… They suffer in silence :'(
So heartbreaking. He may not be in any more pain but what about his family? His friends? I lost a cousin to suicide 2 weeks ago and a friend last Monday …..its absolutely devastating. Why why why????? I hope he is at peace and I send love and light to the people he left behind
The Blues Project
All this suicides :'(
More things need to be done for suicide prevention . to many young life’s taken to soon. I’ve lost a few friends and one this year the same way and she was smart beautiful and loved life just struggled with issues and loss of someone she cared about. My heart goes out to this young gent and his family and friends. And I hope this now city finally wakes up and relizes we need a more affordable and open clinics to help with the depressed that we have here.. To many young and older that I know and I feel could have been treated.. God bless and be kind to all you pathways with everyday.

I worked with him back in like 2012 at Ross. He was always really fun to work with. Really happy. I saw him a few times on the CoC campus since then but never had the courage to say hi again after such a long time. I wish I had. He was super sweet and cool. RIP
