September 23, 1985 - October 16, 2025
Michael was a smart, strong young man. He was strong willed and when he set his mind to it, there were endless opportunities. Michael brought a lot of joy to those around him and always made people laugh with his funny faces.

Along with his mom and step-dad, Donna and Rick Cusimano, a sister Sarah (John) Muse, a step sister Nichole (Jacob) Walker, 3 Nephews Jayce Lamb, Aidan, and Eli Muse, and 3 nieces Ember Gilbert, Isabella and Olivia Walker, as well as many friends.
"You are not forgotten, loved one. Nor will you ever be. As long as life and memory last, we will remember thee. We will miss you now. Our hearts are broken. As time goes by we'll miss you more, your loving smile, your gentle face, no one can fill your vacant place.
Memorial visitation Thursday, October 30, 1:00 PM until time of memorial service 2:00 PM at Collier's Funeral Home, 3400 N. Lindbergh Blvd (St. Ann).

Its still unreal. Gone but never forgotten.
"To all my friends, present past and beyond
Especially those who weren't with us too long
Life is the most precious thing you can lose
While you were here, the fun was never ending
Laugh a minute was only the beginning"

Michael,
You were truly one of a kind — a light in every room, a heart that never stopped giving, and a friend who made life better just by being in it. Your kindness, laughter, and warmth touched everyone lucky enough to know you.
It’s hard to believe you’re gone, but I’ll always carry your spirit with me — in the memories we shared, the lessons you taught without even trying, and the love you gave so freely. You will never be forgotten, my friend.
Rest peacefully,...
