Michael Nary Obituary
Born on September 28, 1964 in Lowell, MA, Michael was the beloved son of the late Ann (DesRoches) Nary; cherished grandson of the late Roland & Mary DesRoches; brother to the late Edward A. Nary, Jr.; and son of the late Edward A. Nary, Sr.
Michael is survived by his brothers Kevin L. Nary and his wife, Dee of Venice, FL; Lee D. Nary of Beckley, W. VA and his sister Karen L. DesRoches of Wolfeboro, NH; and also his soulmate Barbara C., of Kissimmee, FL where his beloved cat Bunkie-monkey lives. Also left behind are many relatives, friends, and acquaintances he has met during his free-spirted life.
Michael grew up in Tewksbury and was a graduate of Tewksbury High School Class of 1982. Michael was a smart and talented man; there wasn't anything he couldn't do when he put his mind to it.
During his life he enjoyed construction projects. Being a jack-of-all-trades, He was self taught as a cement mason, drywaller, tile setter and carpenter. He had a kind heart and would do anything for anyone in need. When you met him, you would never forget him. His green eyes were the windows to his soul.
He had many interests and one of his favorites was spending time at the family Camp on Goose Pond, Shapleigh, ME every summer where he learned how to water ski while out on his brother Kevin's boat on Mousam Lake.
In his spare time, Michael enjoyed traveling to numerous destinations with his soulmate, Barbara and made frequent trips to "The Inn at Buzzards Bay" in Bourne, MA as they loved the beautiful area, and enjoyed seafood at their favorite restaurants down at Cape Cod. Michael also enjoyed attending antique car shows and motorcycle rallies. He was a fan of all New England sports. He was an avid golfer and also enjoyed competing in horseshoes, chess, darts, card games, cribbage, pool and ping-pong. He liked telling jokes and making people laugh. He enjoyed cooking and baking his favorite recipes. Michael had a soft spot for animals, especially dogs and cats.
Michael will be remembered as a generous and loving person that cared deeply for his family and friends. He will be missed by all of those who knew him and loved him.
Burial will be private.
May his soul rest in peace in Kissimmee, FL

Hi M Thanksgiving Remembrance
Whelp, I bought a little 10lb turkey so Mom could enjoy a home cooked Thanksgiving meal.
While I was making the stuffing and preparing the bird memories of Our Thanksgivings came to mind. I chuckled remembering the list of foods you'd make when I ask what do you feel like having for side dishes. LOL we could have fed the army going by all the requests. You love Thanksgiving. You'd make your awesome mash potatoes. While we worked in the kitchen you shared stories of the Thanksgiving meals with your grandparents and all the food. You would tell me about all the different vegetables..and how your grandfather didn't like to see food wasted..
I miss Us so much. Our life, our holidays, our shared stores.. I love you M.. missing you is unbearable...
R.I.P. love from your Bruh ( lol )

Halloween is almost here. I was laughing while looking at last year's picture of your costume. Great Memory...
When I woke up that day you were in the kitchen making coffee with a box on your head I laughed asking what's up? You said .. oh this is my costume, I'm your delivery from Amazon. LOL... ( I do a lot of shopping on Amazon)
Your sense of humor was awesome.. I miss hearing us laugh.. I miss you love!
Love you

Thought about you a lot today... I was even able to laugh a few times.
Sergio came over today to help finish up cleaning the mess left from Milton. We were very lucky compare other communities around us. I laughed to myself saying .. oh I know M is glad he's not here for this mess... one of the frames of our bedroom window got broken, big tree limb hit it, probably thrown from brute force winds.. Serg was able to fix it..
I just miss you so much.. our talks, goofing around laughing..
while helping fix some stuff I could hear you saying.. man, you are a full time job! LOL because there was always something I'd mess up and you'd have to fix it ..
Remember when I was trimming plants and I cut the cable wire lol

Love you and miss you

Hi M..
Well... as you know I had to deal with Milton. I had said my prayers asking everyone above to keep me and the fur babies safe. And you did! There was no damage or flooding but there were wind gust 87/100 mph.. it was horrible but I didn't lose faith. I knew you were close by. When I said my prayers and lit my candle the clock time was 3:33.. after everything was over and the power came back on today the time was 3:33.. so I knew it was you with God's help.. thank you Jesus
I miss you so very much.. my heart still aches. RIP love
Always loved. Always missed

Happy Birthday M..
I've been sitting here reminiscing all the ones we shared. You always acted like it was just another day and when I said my good wishes you'd kinda grumble a thank you.
But how your eyes lite up seeing the carrot cake I made and the dinner of butterfly porkchops, mashed potatoes with cheese & garlic and carrots smothered in butter, garlic n parsley! All your favorites... I miss these times spent with you.. it's so, so hard..
I know you are at peace. When you visit in my dreams you're always with a smile and content... thank you for watching over me and the fur babies keeping us safe from harm during the hurricane.. this is the 1st time in 4yrs we had no flooding and never lost the electricity .. amen Jesus and my angel!
You RIP love
Forever missed

Hi M
Another month has gone by and I still shiver when my thoughts are about you not coming back,,, but you do in your own way...
While I was cleaning and doing laundry today I was smiling and recalling You with your change and it being everywhere. lol
I'd find some in the washing machine and the dryer, I had to really pay attention when vacuuming. There was always a dime or nickel on the floor and if it got sucked up it jammed the vacuum lol
To this day I still find either a nickel or a dime somewhere. When I find it I always say " hi M, thank you.. love n miss you!"
I know it's your way of letting me know you're near.
Such fond memories. You'd chuckle when you saw me using my step stool to reach inside washer lol
Love you and miss you even more!!

Hi M, miss you!
This time of year gets me remembering our treks back and forth between RI, Ma and Florida.
New York... you'd tease about what was i going to chose? The Washington Bridge or the Lincoln Tunnel because I hated them both.. you'd start singing eenie meenie miney mo lol.. I'd go for the bridge..
All kidding aside you had a way about you that you'd be able to talk me through it knowing my fear of heights. We had some great travels.
A fond memory.
Love you Michael... R.I.P

Not a great day. Something tells me you already know this. The details arent important, I just wish you were here to talk with me and shed some light on a few matters. I was going through our pictures and came across the one I'm posting. You were being silly, seeing it made me laugh about the memory behind it. We were at the Cape...

Hi M...
Thought of you a lot today as I did the things we'd do together on a Sunday. Mom was asking for you, with the dementia she forgets. Not to confuse her I told her you were mowing the lawn ;) ..
She asked me to say hi and she misses you.
I dont know what is appropriate when it comes to here, but you always said to go with what felt right to me.. so that's what I'm doing.
I see a post from a friend of yours and on your behalf I would like to say thank you!
Luann, your words are so appreciated. And I'm sure, like myself, having Michael in your life was as precious as it has been for me. He is such an old soul, the code he lived by in everything he has done is the "proof is in the pudding" as he would say.
I miss his laugh. I miss his silly jokes. But most of all I miss Michael the man... God Bless

Mike, I just came across your obituary and I am stunned. You were always so strong and healthy, what could have taken you at such a young age....seems to me. I think of you often. Through all the ups and downs of life, you always kept a smile on your face. Miss you to this day and am glad you had love, a kittie and good things in your life. Where your soul goes, I hope it is peaceful and calm. You will always be in my heart.

Today marks four months since I was with you .. we hugged, kissed and you jumped on your bike to go get your cigs .. I stood there on the driveway watching you pedal off not knowing that was going to be my last memory.
Tomorrow, March 21st marks four months since you were suddenly called home on Nov. 21. 2023. Time is flying by but my heart feels like it was just yesterday.
We miss you! Bunkie sleeps on your pillow ...

Thought of you a lot today and all the different things we'd do and talk about.
My Mom misses you and your visits. She was saying how you ( Charlie, her pet name for you ) seemed to be the only one who could make her laugh with your silly jokes... and let's not forget the pizza, or hotdogs you'd bring her.. when she'd see you come in she'd asked where have you been!?! she loves and misses you!
I found and read this poem today and it really does sound like something you would say

When I lost You
I wish I could see you one more time walking through
the door
But I know that is impossible I will hear your voice
no more
I know you can feel my tears and you don't want me
to cry
Yet i can't understand why someone so precious to me
had to die
I pray that God will give me the strength and somehow
get me through
As I struggle with this heartache that came when
I lost you
I miss you more than words could express Michael. We had one heck of a rollercoaster ride together which has given me so many great memories ... Love you M, may you rest in
peace ... see you again on the flip side 11:11
