Michael Joseph Annis, a beloved member of his family and community, passed away on August 28, 2025, in Orlando, Florida, at the age of 54. Born on June 18, 1971, in Newton, Massachusetts, Michael was known for his hardworking nature and his deep love for family.

Michael dedicated a significant part of his life to his career at Westshore Homes, where he demonstrated diligence and commitment. He was a man of few words, often exemplifying a quiet but thoughtful demeanor that resonated with those around him. His presence was felt not only in his work but also in the warmth he brought to his family and friends.

An ardent sports enthusiast, Michael held a deep appreciation for the Boston Red Sox, the Orlando Magic Basketball team, and UCF Football. These interests were a source of joy and camaraderie, connecting him to friends and family alike.

Michael is survived by his father, John Annis; his sisters, Cindy Piper and Amanda Reinick. He is predeceased by his mother, Linda Annis, whose memory remains cherished by those who knew and loved her.

As we remember Michael, we celebrate a life marked by love, dedication, and quiet strength. He leaves behind a legacy of enduring affection for his family, who will continue to honor his memory in their hearts.
