MICHAEL SPINKS Obituary

MICHAEL SHANE SPINKS, ended his journey with us too soon on 17 April 2013. Preceded in death by his: mother, Becki Jean Hargrove; father, Robert Michael Spinks; aunt, Ann Goff; grandparents, William Barney and Virginia Lillian Spinks, and James Joseph Hargrove. He is survived by his: wife, Alyssa Tavizon Spinks; daughter, Zoey Ann Spinks; step mother, Kathleen Avellar Sullivan; sister, Laci Aboud; aunt, Mandy Hoyes; uncles, William Thomas Spinks and Keith Hargrove; beloved cousins and family; more friends than can be counted; and his personal guardian angels Kelly Mulvey, Jackie Mulvey, Candy Hummell, Barrett Curry, and Jenaro Welsh. Send your photos, memories, and condolences to: [email protected]. Share photos and messages at Michael's Facebook page. A Celebration of Life will be held at 1:00 pm on Sunday, 28 April 2013, at Sunset Funeral Home West, 480 North Resler, El Paso, Texas. Mike's smile lit up our lives. His humor made us laugh, even when we didn't want to. Mike's incredible strength carried us over some rough road. Mike's love was unconditional, and his loyalty unshakable--if Mike was on your side, everything was going to be all right. Then came Zoey. She made the sun rise and set in Mike's world. We were better for having known him, and we are diminished by his passing. Services entrusted to Sunset Funeral Home-West. Please visit our online register book at www.sunsetfuneralhomes.net

Michael was super chill, we used to kick it when we were in High School. I hung out with Michael a couple months ago. He passed out on the couch at a homies house, just like I did. The next morning I woke, got up went home. That was the last time I saw Michael, I wish I had been able to say goodbye. We will miss him dearly

Brother Mike, it's Johnny Ray. I don't know what to say. Only that my life is better for knowing you. Rest easy my brother.

Michael, my family and I will miss you greatly. My mom always thought of you as a son. You were my first friend when I moved to El Paso in 1990 and always will be. Every time we would run into each other it was as if time never passed, we just picked up right where we left off no matter how long it had been since we saw each other. I am left with fond memories of you coming over during the summers to swim or play basketball in my backyard as kids. I don't know what else to say other than I miss you and my life has changed because you were a part of it. Thank you Michael for being part of my life.
Sincerely,
Nadia Marquez

Mike, whenever I think of you or Alyssa the one thing that comes to mind is your big beautiful smiles. You were a good person and left us too soon. Your gorgeous daughter will forever have an angel watching over her. I know that you will always be watching and protecting your family from above. I'm glad to have known you. Rest In Peace. Forever in our hearts.
