"Mike" Michael Jonathan Saunders, 37, of Seattle, Washington, passed away on February 22, 2024. He was born on October 11, 1986, in Richmond.

Michael is survived by his beloved son, Michael Jonathan Saunders, Jr., his former-spouse, Danny Jousee Funez, his foster-father Eugene Alfred Garrison, and his long-time friend Christina Jane Hartman. He cherished spending time with his son and will be remembered for his dedication to his family and friends.

A man of faith, Mike worshipped at Salvation Army. In his free time, he enjoyed quality moments with his loved ones and found solace in his faith.

The good old days! When I was young, impressionable, and thought Mike calling me `mature for my age´ was a compliment. Life really has a way of humbling you, huh?

More than a year ago my law office was in need of a virtual paralegal service to assist in working on civil rights and employment discrimination cases - obtaining medical records to support claims. Mid-summer I took on a civil Federal Court case - and Affordable Paralegal Services was there to support my office with drafts of pleadings, scheduling of out of state depositions, calendaring and reminding my office about deadlines well in advance, etc. Around that same time my office started working one on one with Mike Saunders - coaching about process - how to name files, how to keep track of files, how to organize and delegate workflow - all those things they didn´t teach in law school. Affordable Paralegal Services consistently exceeded our expectations .

Mike was a real character. He helped me with many lawsuits that I was involved in and I never lost anything with this guy. He was a real good dude! I hope that Danny and Mikey are ok.
