Michael Collins Obituary
September 4, 1969 - November 27, 2022
Modesto, California - Michael passed away unexpectedly on Nov. 27th, 2022. He leaves behind Rhonda, his wife of 27 years, his children Rikki and Mikey, his mother Carole, his sister Christi James (Pete), brother in law Ricky Ramsey (Candice), Michelle, Christina, and Vincent, who he raised after the passing of their father, and his nephew Jesse, nieces Amber, Emily, Makayla, Maranda, Tiffany, Taylor and Stephanie, his aunts, uncles and many cousins. He was a grandfather to Camila and Cristiano. He was preceded in death by his Father, Michael E. Collins Sr. and all of his grandparents. Mike's family meant the world to him. He was one of the kindest, most loving, and hardworking men you would ever meet. He enjoyed life to the fullest by taking long drives with his wife, fishing, BBQing and most of all riding his Harley. Mike was always a friend and dedicated his life to helping everyone around him.
