Michael Moulis Obituary

On Monday, April 6, 2020, Michael A. Moulis, Esq. of Ft. Lauderdale passed away at the age of 61.

Mike was born on December 28, 1958 in Fort Benning, Georgia to Colonel Wallace James and Patricia (Griffin) Moulis. He received his law degree from Louisiana State University's Paul M. Hebert Law Center in 1986, and he practiced aviation law for 12 years as a solo practitioner in Ft. Lauderdale. Prior to his solo practice, he served as a prosecutor with the Federal Aviation Administration in Washington D.C. He was a 1982 graduate of Louisiana State University where he was a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity and a 1977 graduate of Yorktown High School in Arlington, Virginia.

Mike loved his family and friends, Louisiana, Cajun food, Mardi Gras, deep sea fishing, arguing his cases, fine suits, his Rolex watch, and women, not necessarily in that order. His love for sports (Geaux Tigers!) just barely edged out his love for sports betting; he'd gamble on a Little League game if he were in the stands. He was generous and kind, and a fierce friend to so many people. He will be remembered for his boisterous storytelling, larger-than-life personality, and hysterical hijinks. Every "jabip," "knucklehead," and "playa" that knew Mike has an unbelievable tale to tell of their friendship, and it's probably a true story.

Mike is survived by his mother, his daughter Brianna Klein, his sisters Mary Jane (Moulis) Bredemus, Stephanie (Moulis) Spees, and his brother John Moulis. He is also survived by many cousins, nieces and nephews and great-nieces and great-nephews. He was preceded in death by his father, his brother Wallace James "Jim" Moulis, Jr., his sister Jean (Moulis) Hollier, and his nephew David Moulis.

A memorial service will be held in New Orleans, Louisiana on a later date.

This news blew me away... Mike was one of the few people on this earth I greatly respected. He was kind and funny and a legal genius.
I can´t believe he´s gone

Thank you for everything you did for me. For helping me get into the legal field and start my career. I will forever be grateful for that. Not only were you my boss, but a great friend and person. You will not be forgotten.

In a professional capacity we were colleagues. We both practiced aviation law. When I first moved into my Sheltair office in 2007, Mike was the first to come greet and welcome me. We had many other similarities. We graduated from law school the same year. Our birthdays were on the same date. Our last conversation was on March 16 when he called to chat about a case and reminded me to be safe. I am both shocked and saddened when I heard of his passing. We shared lots of moments at the Rendezvous. Heaven just got a little brighter. Rest In Peace my friend.

This obituary doesnt begin to describe the stories I heard from Mikes parents and from my daughter, Mimi, who knew him well. May you Rest In Peace, Mike. Did you really get an automobile on top of your high school or is it just more of the stories of your really cool life?

I loved him like a brother , we had many a story to tell, many a trip together fishing and many a night laughing over the years since 1993 , he would come to my house on Thanksgiving or Xmas when he did not travel to see his mom or brother, I don't have the words to say how much I will miss his friendship! I will not forget you RIP - Mojo , your friend Kenny
