Son of Michael, Sr., and his wife Patricia Bair of West Bridgewater. Passed away peacefully on Sunday, August 3rd with family by his side. Michael succumbed to his lifelong disability of Friedreich's Ataxia.

Although his disability limited some of his physical abilities, it did not stop him from living and enjoying life. Michael had the most contagious laugh which would start softly and grow to such a robust sound you could not help but join in and laugh alongside him. He loved to fish with his dad and grandfather Charles Bair. He was an avid gamer which brought him many hours of happiness.

Survived by his siblings Jessica Bair of Easton, Sherrilyn and her husband Tim Sherman of Taunton, Rick and his wife Catie Hill of Holbrook and Joshua Hill and is companion Chelsea Neenan of Middleboro; he is also survived by his nieces and nephews, Emma, Jamie, Jacob, Holden, Joshua Jr and Bennet; many Aunts and Uncles including Stephen and Renee Bair of Florida as well as many cousins, also survived by his best friend and caretaker, Chris Jarrett of Attleboro who has been by Michaels side for the better part of twenty plus years.

A Funeral mass will be celebrated for the repose of his soul on Saturday, August 9th at 10:30AM in St. John;s Church, 210 Central St., East Bridgewater at 10:30AM. Interment will follow in Central Cemetery, East Bridgewater. Calling hours in the Russell & Pica Funeral Home, 441 South Main St., (Rt28) West Bridgewater on Friday, August 8th from 5:00PM-7:00PM.
