MICHAEL AYO Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on May 15, 2017.

A loyal softball player and devoted father. Michael "Shark" Wayne Ayo Sr. died at the age of 65 after a battle with kidney failure and cancer. He was an all-star on the baseball field but most of all he loved his kids. His three children, Michael Ayo Jr., Angela Ayo and Adam Ayo always enjoyed their dad's passion for sports and winning of course. In addition to baseball and his kids, he loved his friends. Shark passed on May 5, 2017. He touched so many lives. We will always celebrate and remember his impact on our lives every Cinco de M-Ayo. A Gathering of Family and Friends will be held 12:00pm, Saturday, June 10, 2017 in the Chapel at Greenwood Memory Lawn Mortuary, 719 N. 27th Avenue, Phoenix, Arizona 85009 followed by a Memorial Service at 1:00pm.

Mike,

We will celebrate your life and the lessons you have taught us. Thank you for raising an amazing man and teaching us unconditional love. We will always save a seat for you in the movies and yes, even when I pick it, you'll still have to watch it. You will forever be in our hearts. You have blessed us with so many great memories but we know that you'll watch over us and keep us safe. Until we meet again, love Brittany.

You were my anchor in stormy seas... you were the light when my way seemed darkest.... you were my advocate when I most needed defense..... you were my compass to guide me into manhood.... yes you were my brother too... but more than any of this you were my friend! To lose all of this at once should be devastating... but if you truly KNEW Michael Wayne... you'd know that focusing on our loss was the LAST thing he'd be wanting. He'd want you to remember him with a smile and a story! On behalf of his parents, and older brother... We'll miss you Michael Wayne with every breath we take on every day of the rest of our lives... but we WILL smile daily remembering the blessing that was given us... time with you! Love you Brother... ALWAYS and FOREVER!

To my loving father, thank you for making me the man I am today and showing me unconditional love and support. I know you are in a better place and looking down on me. I promise I will carry on your name with honor and dignity while continuing to make you proud. Though you are in a better place, you will always be in my heart. I love you Dad you're my superman. Rest in peace - Shark 33.
