Michael Tuchman Obituary

Tuchman, Michael Angelo TO YOUNG TO DIE ! Michael was born born in Newport Beach, California, August 13, 1969. He passed away on October 30, 2010. He was a talented and gifted young man who was kind, loving and a free spirit! God took him too soon at the age of 41. He grew up in Orange County and graduated from Foothill High School in Tustin 1987. He attended U.C. Santa Barbara and Cal State Fullerton University and graduated in 1992 with a B.A. Degree in Business, Art Studio and Computer Graphics. He pursued many careers during his young age at movie studios as a model maker and was a master at sales in the business field. He was a talented artist, and his artistic abilities went way beyond the average person. He loved sports and riding his exquisite Harley Davidson motorcycle. He was a champion wrestler in High School. He was an expert skier and won many medals racing for Balboa Ski and Sports Club. He always strived to be the best and prayed that God would give him strength to lead a good life. He loved his nieces and nephews very much and they so fondly called him "UNCLE". He never married and had children of his own, but treated them as if they were his own. Family meant everything to him. His one true love was his Doberman that he named "Harley". His family and friends will miss him, but his memory will live on forever. A Rosary will be held at Pacific View Memorial Park and Mortuary, 3500 Pacific View Drive, Corona del Mar, CA 92625 in the chapel on November 8th at 7 p.m. Funeral Mass will be held at St. Cecilia Catholic Church, 1301 Sycamore Avenue, Tustin, CA 92780 at 11:00 a.m., November 9th. In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate a tax deductible donation to the National Foundation Federation in care of "The Harold Tuchman Family Endowment Fund" which benefits children's education, 333 South 132nd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68154.

Michael, I so often think of you and everything life is supposed to be about... you had taught me many valuable lessons, some not so easy to bear... as much as I, myself, and many others miss you dearly... I have comfort knowing that you are up above with the Angels and I know you are finally "...laughing in the Purple Rain."
With all of my love to You, your Mom, Dad, Bret & Family....
Until We Meet Again... God Bless You Michael.
Love,

Michael was such a nice man and a hard worker. I talked to him from time to time about various business opportunities and shared some nice memories with friends cooking dinner and great conversation. May he rest in peace and be with the angels - just as his name implies. Sincerely, Monica Marie Glauner

My heart goes out to the Tuchman family and to Mike's brother Brett as well. I just lost a 41 year old sister one year ago this week. The family will never be the same, but you can move forward by allowing yourself to grieve and know he is with you all in spirit and watching over you. I knew Mike in high school and had several conversations with him while he was attending SBU. We lost connection in our late 20's and just recently reconnected here on FB. Even though he was taken too soon he had a full life and enjoyed many things. He was very fortunate to have you all for a family and spoke very highly of you all. I'm unsure if I will be able to attend the service as I am down with a severe cough and cold. Please know you all are in my thoughts and prayers as you venture through this difficult time in your lives.

Mike, I have so many memories with you from Foothill High to as recent as just a couple of months ago. God only knew why our paths were crossing again, so recently, after all of these years. You will always have a special place in my heart, as we shared so much in our younger years. I am deeply sorry that God needed you so soon, but I know he has a special place for you up above, where you will have utter happiness and contentment within. For your parents, brother, nieces, nephews & other family members, I am heartfully sorry for their loss of your presence. My prayers are with you & your family, now & forever. You've always been a highly talented man, and now may you truly rest in peace, knowing that everything you've achieved will never go un-noticed, nor forgotten.
God Bless You Michael...until we meet again.
Mr. & Mrs. Tuchman, Bret & family, my heart and prayers go out to you, in this very sorrowful time.
With Love & Deepest Sympathy,
Nina Ricci
