Michael Sirott Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jun. 3, 2008.
Michael James Sirott, 48, born June 15, 1959, passed away unexpectantly May 28, 2008. Mike was born and raised in Palm Springs but spent his most recent years in Utah and Carlsbad, CA. Mike will be greatly missed by all who knew him. In particular, for his unique sense of humour and laid back attitude toward life, a reality check for the rest of us at times of undue stress. Mike always had a smile and more often than not, food from Del Taco! A great man, son, brother, uncle and friend. Mike is irreplaceable and will always be remembered, loved and missed. Michael was predeceased by his mother, Mary Helen Sirott. He is survived by his father and step-mother, Mark and Marilyn Sirott of La Quinta, CA; brother Brad (Susie and niece and nephew Hannah and Matthew) Sirott, London, England; sister Debbie (Tom and nephews, Jason and Aaron) Christopher, Palm Springs, CA; brother Ken (nephews, Ryan, Dustin and Jesse and niece Joanna) Hallen, Palm Desert, CA; sister Sharol (Bruce) McQuarrie, San Francisco, CA; and brother Marc (Maria and nephew and niece Shawn and Alexa) Hallen, Safety Harbor, FL. A service for family and friends will be held on Thursday, June 5, 2008 at 3:30 PM at Wiefels & Son Mortuary, 690 Vella Road, Palm Springs. In lieu of flowers a contribution may be made in Michael's name to the American Heart Associaton, 74020 Alessandro Drive, Palm Desert, CA 92260.

I still think of Michael to this day and hold a very special place in my heart with memories of him. It's hard to believe it's been all these years since his passing. When I look back on the photo's I have of Michael they just bring me back to those days. I hope Michael's family is doing well. Thinking of you at this time.

To the Sirott Family
I did not know. I had talked to Mike after he had moved back to the San Diego area and had intended to stay in touch, but had got caught up in my own life and let it go for another time. I had recently found Mike's phone number in my desk, decided to call only to discover I was too late, in more ways than one. I knew Mike a very long time and now after the fact wish I had been a better friend, tried a little harder, simply called like I should have and now cannot. To his family my deepest heartfelt condolences, if there is ever anything I can do please let me know.

Dear Mark, Marilyn, and Michael's Brothers and Sisters,
I know it must be a difficult day for you because it is Michael's birthday today. I have been thinking of you. I still can't believe Michael is gone. I think of him constantly. I miss the long telephone conversations we would have when we didn't see each other in the evenings. We talked about our future. My heart is so broken without Michael. I miss his face, his voice, his laugh. I miss him so much. I just don't understand. He was way to young to go. We had something special.
Happy Birthday Michael.

To the Sirott family: No words can adequately describe how I feel about your loss of Michael this early in life. I am so sorry. I didn't know Michael for very long, but he was a genuinely nice guy--the real deal. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time and especially on Sunday as you remember his birthday. I was pleased to have met all of you at Michael's memorial service.

I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am for the loss of your beloved brother.
I've read all these entries in his Guest Book, and they essentially all say the same: Mark was a remarkable person. Kind and uplifting. Without a doubt he's with our Lord now.
Please know I'm thinking of you today~
Hugs~

Michael, I will miss you so much! So little time in life to do the things we need, so little time to do the things we should, so little time chasing our dreams. So many regrets, I wish I could have known. Your kindness, your will to do no harm to others, for all you did for others, I pray God is filling your soul with the happiness you so deserved in return! You will always be in here in memories, tucked away in my heart. For all that you may have thought was forgotten, remember what Matthew said when I picked him up from the bus station, " I've never, ever met anyone who could care so much about a kid trying to make it", "mom, he was a complete stranger, and he tried to help us!" You were such a beautiful, humble man. God be with you in your rest

Dear Mark and Family
Just a small note sending our deepest sympathy to your family.
Mike was a very kind,thoughtful and humorous man. He had a way about him to be positive and thankful towards life. Many of us could learn alot from him as he was hard worker but did not let things get to him as many of us do. I was fortunate enough to spend some time with him recently as he was kind enough to help me out with some issues I was having. He will always be remembered and only wish I had a chance to tell him what a special guy I thought he was.
I hope you can stay strong thru these hard times and be proud of what a wonderful man you had raised.
He was an oustanding person and may God be with him

My heart is with you both. Michael was such a huge part of my life, and I know he always focused on the positive side of life. He found joy in the tiniest things, and he was always willing to help people in anyway he could. He will be missed terribly.

The Sirott Family, I am so sorry for your loss. I met Mike approximately 8 years ago through a mutual friend Tom Billick. Mike did some computer work for my wife and I. This is where a relationship would generally begin and end. Mike had an ability to make you feel better in tough times or just in general. Beth and I have often called him a big gentle soul which is what Mike was. Gentle and kind is how he will be remembered. I have never met you or your other family members and I have not spoken to Mike in nearly 4 years. When I heard the news I shared it immediately with my wife and we were genuinely sadened. Remarkable for someone whom we didn't spend that much time with and hired originally just to do some computer work. I know there is nothing you can say at a time like this but if your son, brother, uncle can make an impact like this you did a fine job raising him. We all are better off having known him. We grieve along with you and will miss that big gentle soul. Our thoughts and prayers are with you

Mr. and Mrs. Sirott and Family,
My deepest condolences to you and your family. Michael brought so much happiness to my life in the few months that I've known him. I will always remember Michael's soft gentle voice and kind soul. He always had a positive attitude and a beautiful smile on his face. He had told me that he always saw the glass half full in life. I miss him terribly. Thinking and praying for you.

Please accept my condolences. I hadn't seen Mike in a number of years, but I still remember his humor and attitude. My prayers are with you today and in the days to come.

Mark and family, I am so very sorry to learn of Mike's passing. Your son touched many lives in such positive ways. Most recently in helping my sons. To his honor my youngest boy said, "I have never, ever known anyone who was so willing to help a kid try to make it, he is the nicest person I ever met"! He was a hero in my son's eyes. His generous heart and kind spirit will always be with us. He will be missed.
