Michael Lupo Obituary
Michael Anthony Lupo passed away January 25, 2024, at the age of 68. In his passing, he is reunited with his mother and his childhood best friend. His memory will be cherished by his father; brother; sister; ex-wife; two children; and six grandchildren.
In his life, Mike traveled extensively and lived in many places, but the Spokane area was always home. He was dedicated to his work in hotel management, but also enjoyed camping and skiing with his children. He was a skilled ice carver, enjoyed reading historical fiction and biographies, and was rarely defeated at dominoes and cribbage. His favorite hobby above all else - he loved taking naps.
Mike was an Air Force veteran and also a cancer survivor. His family is grateful for the extra 15 years after chemo and radiation therapy, that allowed him to celebrate many wonderful moments including: weddings, graduations, and especially the arrival of grandchildren. The family will always remember how in even the worst moments, a picture, or a few words with a grandchild always left him with a smile on his face.
A memorial service will be celebrated at 2:00PM, Saturday, March 2, 2024 at Yates Funeral Home – Hayden Chapel (373 E. Hayden Ave. Hayden, Idaho 83835). There will also be an interment service at 1:00PM, Monday, March 4, 2024 at the Washington State Veteran's Cemetery in Medical Lake, Washington (21702 W. Espanola Rd. Medical Lake, WA 99022).
