Michael Posey, Jr. Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Mar. 6 to Mar. 8, 2023.

Our beautiful son Michael entered the world on September 20, 1967, and left us too soon on January 23, 2023. He was a kind, gentle, caring soul to his family and friends and will forever be missed. Michael's optimism about life was contagious. He always had a funny story or joke to share and this writer loved to "hang out" with him because he never failed to brighten my day!

Michael had loved football since he was three years old when he would run to his toy chest, pull out his "gear", suit up, and watch the games! This love of football continued through summer football camps, high school games, and while not in active participation, into adulthood by not missing many pro games! Another of his favorite activities was riding motorcycles. He had his first motorcycle at the age of seven! Many Indians and Harleys followed until he was fifty-three. With maturity, his last "bike" was actually an electric bicycle!

Michael's career started with managing many of his grandfather's apartment complexes. He later worked for two major home builders in the San Francisco Bay area. In his later years, he worked as a driver for Lyft in San Diego and loved meeting new people and regaling them with his humor and jokes...this was probably his most favorite occupation!

Michael is at rest now in our Lord's loving arms. Our hearts are broken but take comfort in knowing we will meet again.

He is survived by his parents Jack and Mary Miller, Michael Posey, Sr., and Jean Chase...His siblings Christina, Michelle, Phillip, Matthew, Morgan, Kristen, John, Kirk, and Christopher...His stepchildren Rebecca, Jessica, Rodney, and Anthony...His step-grandchildren Arianna, Alyssa, Dominic, and Isiah.

A service and Celebration of Life will be held at The Refinery Church located at 494 E Street in Chula Vista, CA on April 29, 2023, at 11 am.

My Brother was the kindest, funniest, most amazing person. Everyone who knew him loved him. Everywhere he went, he lit up the room with his big Cheshire grin! Not a day goes by that I don´t miss his quick wit and gentle smile. My solace is knowing he is in a much better place watching over all of us.

Mike was the kind of guy who always had a smile on his face, radiating joy and positivity wherever he went. As a next-door neighbor, he was always respectful, considerate, and a pleasure to be around. His upbeat attitude and warm demeanor made him a delight to interact with. Although he is no longer with us, the memories of his kindness and joyful spirit will always be cherished by those who knew him.

I just got to know Mike a few years back when I moved into the condo association that he lived. He was always smiling, had something nice to say, and very positive with lots of jokes. He would give me rides up to Murietta when I bought a vehicle at Carmax auction and needed to pick it up on Mondays or Tuesdays. I always enjoy those rides and talking. I will miss you Mike! Rest in Peace.

Michael was my close friends Mother, Mary, and they had an unbreakable bond. I have to admit I didn't get to know him as well as I would have liked but I loved him because I know he was loved so dearly by her. I first met Michael many years ago when he lived in the San Francisco area. Mary & I, and sometimes other friends would go with her to visit him.
Immediately Michael would pull up in front of the hotel to drive "the girls" around for the day. Always telling us jokes and making us laugh. You could never mistake his huge smile that drew you in to him immediately. At a young age Michael became a Grandpa and Mary & I used to smile to see these sweet little kids calling Michael Grandpa. But he lived up to the role 100%. He loved those kids and they went everywhere with him. They love him tremendously to this day. Michael will be sorely missed by his family and many friends. He walked this earth and left it too soon. Rest with the angels Michael.

Words are so empty when I try to convey the hole left in this world by Michael´s passing. Pausing gives your soul a chance to adjust, because no matter how prepared we are, a death is still a shock. I have so many wonderful memories of Michael. He always had a funny quote or joke, and the best comebacks to any situation. He was such a gentle soul, always showing kindness and love to his family and friends. It´s so hard for those left here - but I know that he is at peace in a very loving place. Someone said this quote to me "Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. " and we know how much love he gave to us! I am a firm believer We will all meet again!
Mary & family please know- We are all surrounding you in prayer, lifting you up. Take a step back & trust your soul, it knows what you need right now. .... It only holds love, compassion and no judgements. LOVE You!!!

I wish you comfort and strength during this difficult time. Michael was like a little brother to me while growing up. I use "little" lightly as he was a big personality, a big heart, a big smile, and a big teddy bear. Your memory will live on in the hearts of your loved ones. His soul is in eternal peace. Please know I will continue with my prayers.

It's difficult for this Sister, to put a lifetime of memories into a small paragraph. My Brother Michael was so many things. A gentle, loving, caring, witty, brilliant man. A wonderful Son, Brother, and Step-Father, and friend. Always quick to tell a story or a joke, that would light up any room. To say that he is missed and always will be, is an understatement. Every Morning I wake up and for a brief moment, think to myself, it was just a dream, only to realize too soon, it was not, he is really gone. I know he is in a better place, but it still doesn't ease the pain in my heart. I can feel him watching over me, as he always did. My only solace is knowing that one day we will be re-united in Heaven. So, I lift up my glass, and make a toast to you, my precious Brother.

Michael, I miss your big heart and the wonderful Cheshire cat grin that accompanied many of the priceless stories and jokes you shared over the years. You always lightened the mood in any room with a quip or a zinger and I still chuckle when I think about what you asked me last year when I was leaving for a tennis match. You asked me "How I could play a sport where love means nothing?".... That was one of the many wisecracks that always brought a smile to my face and brought joy to any setting. Mike, your spirit will always be a part of our tribe, you will be forever missed and you will always be remembered. Rest in peace brother.

Michael had a loving smile, charming wit and a gift of humor. Knowing Michael from when he was young he always brought joy to me and all that knew him.
He was loved and will always live on in the hearts of his family and friends. Michael will be missed and not forgotten.

I cried when you passed away
I´m still crying today
Although I loved you dearly
I couldn´t make you stay
A golden heart stopped beating
Hard working hands at rest
God broke my heart to prove to me
He only takes the best
Rest In Paradise my wonderful Son
I love you so very much
Dad
