Michael Freeman Obituary

Michael Joseph Freeman Mike was born in Greenbrae, CA on July 4th, 1984. He died at home in Novato on September 3rd, 2017 at the much too young age of 33. He is survived by his parents, Mike and Patti, his brother Tim, and sister Tina. He also leaves behind his Grandpa John as well as extended family. Mike was a kind and gentle soul with big heart and a great sense of humor. He grew up in Novato, attending Olive Elementary, Hill Middle School and Novato High School. He excelled at football and was team MVP his senior year. He went on to play football at SRJC, where he also earned his AA in Sociology. For the past three years, Mike was a member of IBEW. He was loved and respected by his union brothers for his work ethic. Mike loved watching his Oakland Raiders and had high expectations of them going all the way this year. Please remember Mike for his smile, jokes, generosity, compassion, and loyalty. The world was a better place because of Mike. He will be missed beyond belief. Rest in peace our gentle giant."

I just found out today that Michael passed away in 2017 and I am so very saddened. It´s been many years since I´ve seen him, and as his first grade teacher, looking at his picture here, I can see in his face the young boy I once knew and I´m remembering his loving family who are living with their loss. I´m so proud of his accomplishments I just read about, and what a handsome, dear, respected man he grew up to be. I remember him so well as kind, gentle, hard working and very liked and loved by his peers. My thoughts are with his mother, father, Timmy and sister Tina and all his friends and family whose lives he touched. He will remain in their hearts always.

I'll always remember Mike. Going up to Lake Tahoe, celebrating his birthday on multiple Fourth of July's. Spending time at his house, playing N64 in Timmy's room. But my fondest memories are going to open gym in Hamilton with him and his father, Big Mike Sr. Many fun nights of hoops were had! Rest in Paradise Mike! Love and miss you big man!
