Michael Ray Chavez, a cherished father, grandfather, son, and brother, passed away on June 5, 2026, at the age of 66. Born on August 6, 1959, in Los Angeles, California, Michael brought warmth, laughter, and joy to everyone who knew him.  He found his sanctuary on the water, joyfully spending countless days on his boat, sharing his passion for boating and water skiing with his family. 

Michael leaves behind a family who loves him dearly: his children, Jacob and Jessica, a daughter in law, four grandchildren, and a great-grandson. As well as his longtime companion, her two sons, and two grandchildren.   All of which hold Michael's memory close to their hearts.
