Michael Massman Obituary
Michael is survived by his loving wife, Alexa, his cherished children, Jane and Mack, and his beloved stepchildren, Basil and Sunny. He was the son of Stephen Massman and Patti Neuwirth and older brother to Brent Massman. Michael's commitment to his family was evident in the strength of the relationships he nurtured, both with his biological children and his stepchildren, whom he embraced with love and devotion.
Michael will be remembered for his gentle spirit, caring nature and the boundless love he shared with his family and friends. He found joy in the little things-whether it was a family gathering, a quiet evening at home, or supporting his loved ones through life's challenges. His legacy will live on in the hearts of those he leaves behind.
A memorial service will be held on April 11, 2025, at Hillside at 10:00 AM.
Michael's memory will forever remain in the hearts of his family and all who were fortunate enough to know him.

I just happened to google Mike as I like to about old friends from childhood. Knew he & Brett from Vail Colorado when we were young kids. I´m sorry to hear but encouraged by reading about him in comments and his impact on those closest to him.

The loss of Papa Bear - as I knew Michael - had a massive impact on our community over at Livepeer. He was, and it, a pillar of our community: kind, helpful, respectful, and caring. Him moving on is a massive loss for us and we send love to all those who loved him - family, friends, and more.
He will be so, so missed. We will carry his legacy on within Livepeer.

Mike had a beautiful meditation he shared with me - Smiley meditation. I smile thinking of it. He taught me to have gratitude while breathing and smiling at each organ thanking it for doing its job. May you be in Peace, Mike.

I was deeply saddened to learn of Michael´s passing. He was a cornerstone of our community - always willing to help, contribute, and uplift others, all with quiet humility. His positive energy touched many, including myself. This is a profound loss. My deepest condolences to his family and close friends. He will be deeply missed.

I had the chance to work alongside him for four years.
He had become a friend-always caring for others and incredibly kind.
I will miss him dearly.

Words cannot describe how what Daddy Mike meant to me. He took me in as his own and I will always cherish all the memories we had together. Thank you for always being so patient with me. I miss and love you so much Daddy Mike.
