Mike's heart was always in the right place!

Mike- we took all the same classes together at Foothill and UCD, as well as many in high school. So much time together. You always knew what to do and when to do it, and never got rattled by any situation. You were always so positive! You had a wonderful career and leave behind a beautiful family. I'm glad I was able to catch up with you on your 70th birthday. I wish our time together since then could have been longer! Rest peacefully old friend!!!

The Novartis Modesto team - Zena Kaji, Christy Robison, Rosa Madueño, Brian Riley, Matt Mitchell, Patty Wolfgram, and Esther Knobel - is deeply saddened by the passing of our esteemed colleague, Mike. His guidance was invaluable to our team's success, especially as we began our careers in the industry. Mike's passion for his work and his warm personality were cherished by everyone in the territory. We will always remember and appreciate his contributions to our team. Rest in peace, Mike.

Mike, you will be missed!! I´ll always remember our friendly competition as reps, and how we always seemed to be at the same offices at the same time chasing scripts! Thank you for always being a leader and sharing your journey-what a strong warrior you are and your legacy will live on through your family. I´ll always remember what a great time we had photographing my parents 60th surprise bdays! Rest easy my friend, you´ll be missed!
Sincerely, with sympathy-
Brittany Robinson

Mike, it was an honor working in Pharma sales with you in the Valley during the 90's. Although we were at different companies, I looked forward to running into you at the many offices we served--Orangeburg, 911 E. Tuolumne, Queen' Lisa's...you were one of the good ones...highly respected by MD's and their staff, knowledgable about your drugs, and someone who raised the bar for pharma reps.

I truly admired your courage and transparency throughout your battle with Cancer, and appreciated how much you shared on FB, especially calling out the many Healthcare angels who made your journey a bit easier, calming you, lightening the mood, and keeping you motivated.

You put family first, always, and I know they will miss you dearly. Know that you leave behind great memories, a legacy that will never be forgotten, and a spirit that will continue to bring smiles to all our faces.

God Bless,
Rick Livesay
