Michael Early Obituary
Throughout his life, Mike touched countless hearts with his cheerful spirit and warm demeanor. His devotion to his family was unparalleled, and he cherished every moment spent with his daughters Bonnafaye and Kathryn, sons Jeremy and Gabriel, grandson Jacob, and his siblings: Mitch, Justin, Julie, Jeannie, and Deelean.
Mike's memory will be forever treasured by all who knew him, remembering his infectious happiness and the joy he brought into their lives. While he is reunited with his parents, Lane and Dixie, sister Joanie, and beloved wife Sandra in eternity, his spirit and love will continue to live on in the hearts of those he loved and who loved him dearly.
In honoring Mike's life, we celebrate the legacy of a man who made a profound impact through his compassion and faith, leaving behind a legacy of love that will endure for generations to come.
The viewing will be held on Friday, July 5, 2024, from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM at Funerales Santana Mortuary, located at 394 E. 4th Street, Perris, California.

Following the Mass, the interment will take place at 1:00 PM at Forest Lawn Cypress, 4471 Lincoln Ave, Cypress, California.

Every time I saw him he would tell the story of me teaching him to read. I didn´t, but the fact that he saw me that way was a compliment! Luv to all of you. Jeannie Jacobs

Uncle Mike helped me get my first car. He told me to test drive it & get on the freeway. I was very scared. I had never drove in the freeway yet. He said, You'll be fine, you can do it! I'll be riding with you. Since then, I like driving on the freeway. Thank you uncle Mike for believing in me & building my confidence with my self. I am truly going to miss you. Love you Uncle

Mike taught me how to drive in an old Mustang. We would listen to the loud radio and smoke cigarettes, while giving directions from the passenger seat. He was one of the best. Love you brother
