Michael John "Mike" Biggs

It is with immense sadness we announce the death of Mike Biggs on December 3, 2017 at age 48. He was a caring father, husband, son, brother and friend who will be terribly missed by all.

To say Mike Biggs had a life well-lived is an understatement. When life wasn’t handing Mike opportunities to learn more and do more, he was busy seeking these opportunities from life. Mike was an amazing and selfless person. He was intelligent, hardworking and thoughtful but above all else he loved his family and was loved by his family. He was very affectionate and never missed a day without ensuring his family knew they were loved. His sense of humor, in his quiet way, always made people laugh. Mike loved any opportunity to get outside on his road bike, especially in the mountains; a passion he shared with his brother and close friends. He loved skiing, cooking, music, building things, exploring the world and the outdoors, and, most of all, his family. He had a keen interest in environmental issues, technology and art. He had an obscenely long daily Duo Lingo streak. Most of all, Mike loved to make others feel loved. In the end, this love and generosity for the world allowed him to be an organ donor to provide life and sight for others. The world needs more people like Mike.

Mike was born and grew up in San Diego, California. He held a Mechanical Engineering degree from the University of California at Berkeley and an M.B.A. degree in sustainability from the University of Colorado. He was a named inventor on over two dozen U.S. patents in the medical device field. He loved working in the Medical Device industry for 25 years, and worked at Encision for the last five years, most recently as the VP of Development.

Mike was an incredibly sensitive and loving person. He was the beloved husband of Margo Scharer, amazing and devoted Dad to Remy and Zack, cherished son to Geoff and Ann Biggs of San Diego, CA, loving brother to Steve Biggs (Pam Biggs) of Clayton, CA. Mike will be missed by so many other family and friends who loved and cared about him deeply. Please keep his family and friends in your thoughts.
