Michael William Hoffman Obituary
Michael William Hoffman went to be with the Lord on August 28, 2017 after a heroic battle with liver cancer. Mike was born February 24, 1950 in Cleveland, Ohio to William and Lyda Hoffman. He worked for the Washington School District for 28 years as a Facilities Manager, retiring in 2016. Although he enjoyed golfing and reading, his real passion was his family. You could count on him to attend every family gathering, sometimes more than one in a day! Everyone who met him would agree that he was the kindest, most gentle, compassionate and caring person, who was so very easy to love. Mike was a huge Dallas Cowboys fan through thick and thin and took a lot of teasing from others. Mike is survived by his loving wife, Donna, son James (Melanie) Poucher, 2 beautiful granddaughters Juliet and Angelina Poucher, brother Greg (June) Hoffman, sisters Janis Weaver, Kathy (Jack) Raynes, and Debbie (John) Duncan. Extended family Vinny Marchese, Debbie (Dominick) Occhiato, Diane (Jim)Wagner. Darlene (Columbo Kasapi) Marchese, Denise (Sonny) Frisenda, 18 nieces and nephews and 26 great nieces and nephews as well as his fellow church members and too many friends and other relatives to mention. He is preceded in death by his son David Poucher, parents William and Lyda Hoffman, brothers Dennis Hoffman and Steven Hoffman, his mother and father in law Lillian and Dino Marchese. Viewing will be held on Saturday, September 2, 2017 at Phoenix Memorial Park & Mortuary, 200 W Beardsley Rd., Phoenix from 6:00pm to 8:00pm, a funeral service will be held on Sunday, September 3, 2017 at 1:00pm.

My deepest sympathy to the family on your loss. It's time like these when the loving promises of our heavenly Father can bring us comfort and can soften some of the pain we feel in our hearts. (1 Thessalonians 4:13.14) Pray to him, he will strengthen you and give you peace.
