Michael Pagan Obituary

MICHAEL PAGAN Michael Pagan, 52, a loving father and devoted husband, passed away during the early morning hours of Saturday, Jan. 23, 2010.

Michael leaves behind his wife, of 30 years, Jennifer; children, Chris (Opal), Nick (Jessica), Michelle and Stefanie; mother, Rosemarie; and siblings, Richard, Tony and Christina (Martin) Ortega. His loss will also be felt by those he left behind, including numerous in-laws, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and friends. Viewing will be from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 28, with services following, both at Affordable Cremation and Burial Service, 2457 N. Decatur Blvd. A luncheon to honor his memory will be held immediately following the service at Canyon Ridge Christian Church, 6200 W. Lone Mountain Road. "Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful and endures through every circumstance." 1 Corinthians 13:7

Dear Jennie and Family,
Dale and I, are so very sorry for your sudden and unexpected loss.
I too lost a husband suddenly at a very young age. What helped me get through were the memories. Mike was a great son, husband and father. You had 30 years of beautiful memories you made together. Those memories will never die, and they will keep Mike alive in your heart for as long as you all live. Those memories will keep you warm as you carry on. You are all in our prayers.
Love Always,

Jennifer,

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during your time of loss. I lost my father very suddenly (one month after my daughter was born) and what helped me through was thinking of my dad looking down on me from heaven and knowing that, one day, I would see him again. Please remember that you are loved by your family, friends, and especially, God, who is always there for us.

Your friend,

Teresa
