Michael Biondo Obituary
October 1, 1956 - February 10, 2021
Turlock, California - Michael was born on October 1st, 1956 to Natale and Anne Biondo of Detroit, Michigan. He was the fifth of ten children and the third generation of Biondo's who originally immigrated from Palermo, Italy in the late 1890s. After high school, Michael drove his motorcycle across the country where he spent the rest of his years in California. He built a beautiful home, grew a loving family and farmed his land.
Always a driven man, Mike passed down many important lessons, a multitude of life experiences and the good ole Biondo work ethic. Michael enjoyed many passions in life from which he showed his love, including farming, music, cooking, and craftsmanship.
Michael was a self-taught artisan, a hardworking father, a loving grandfather, loyal son and the brother who knew what was best for everyone. He is survived by the mother of his children, Louella Biondo, his son, Domenick Natale Biondo, daughter Melissa Anne Arakelian and granddaughter, Emma. He is remembered with love by his extended family and friends.

I'm very, very sad to just now discover that a true childhood friend from Michigan who I always respected yet deeply regretted not staying in contact in our later years has transitioned. I will always cherish the one and only time I visited Mike and met his lovely wife at his home in Modesto, CA many years ago. Michael will always have a special place in my heart, and I will never, ever forget him. I pray for his wife and children. May God rest his soul! Your true old friend, Leonard F. Harview, now domiciled in Pahrump, Nevada

I am saddened to hear of Mikes passing. Mike was one of my dad Jimmie Carters best friends and I knew him as Country Mike. He was always a true friend to my father. He was a really good guy. He will be missed.
