Michael Enright Obituary

Michael J. Enright, age 49, lost his 5-year courageous battle against a very rare autoimmune syndrome (CVID) on November 29, 2018, in Corpus Christi, TX, while surrounded by his mother, Angelita and his life-partner, Jennifer.

Born in Las Vegas, NV, on November 7, 1969, Michael was known for his artistic abilities, appreciation of various music and literature genres, and passion for any dog which crossed his path. He relocated to Corpus Christi, TX, in October of 2012, where he planned to have a new beginning in life, including an animal rescue ranch.

Survivors include his mother, Angelita Holbrook of Marysville; his life-partner, Jennifer Dragoo and her daughter, Caitlyn Dragoo of Corpus Christi; his brothers Tim Enright (Angela) of Marysville, and Jamie Enright (Alisa) of Sacramento; his son Philip Enright of Marysville; and several nieces and nephews.

Michael and Jennifer want to specifically thank Dr. Ivan Fuss and Mrs. Kim Montgomery-Recht, the research team and the nursing staff of the National Institute of Health in Bethesda, MD, for their ongoing support and desire to find a cure for CVID.

Appreciation and gratitude are also extended to their numerous friends and Larry and Teresa Neville who were readily available to assist.

A celebration of life will be held at a future date in 2019 in Marysville.

It's been 80 days and it still truly seems impossible to my mind that you are gone. I talk to you often, only wishing I could hear your reply. I am not even sure what to do some days, as you are the other 1/2 of my heart and you are gone.

I love you to infinity and beyond. I was so blessed to have been loved by you.

My Love,
Hundreds of prayers won't bring you back, believe me I have tried.
Neither will the millions of tears which have fallen from my eyes.

I never got the chance to meet you. Jennifer spoke of you all the time. When you became Ill, I sent my prayers daily until you left the earth to meet your maker. I will continue to pray that a cure is found soon.

I am so thankful that I was able to reunite with Michael and see how he took his life and changed it into the man he always wanted to be. He literally stepped out from his darkness and transformed himself into a strong, loving man and a faithful believer. He was knocked down with a terrible disease and I believe that most would have fallen quickly. But he knew that it was incurable and that he was going to die, but before he died he wanted to make a contribution to this life, so he volunteered to be poked and prodded in hopes that what ever they could figure out about the disease through his contribution might possibly help someone live. That was Michael. Before he died he called me and my husband to thank us for all we have done and to tell us how much we meant to him. All we could say was thank you for letting us be part of your life and that he would be dearly missed. My husband thanked him for the peace that he felt every time he was near him. Who else could do that, make someone feel peaceful when thy themselves was leaving this world. It is not enough to say he will be missed, of course he will be. But what I can say is that the world has lost a wonderful man who just wanted to heal and help others heal. He will be greatly missed as he was greatly loved.
