Michael Moniz

Michael "Mickey" Moniz, 76, most recently of Wilmington, NC, but a lifelong resident of RI & MA passed away at home on October 30, 2025. Born June 8, 1949, in Providence, RI, he was the son of the late John J. and Linda Moniz (Hilderbrand). As a young man, he served in the Army National Guard before beginning his career working for the Heat & Frost Insulators & Allied Workers Local 6. He was the beloved father of Michael Moniz and his wife Cheryl, Aaron Moniz, and Shanemarie Vaughn and her husband Brian. Mickey was the cherished grandfather of seven. Mickey is survived by his siblings, John Moniz, Dori Moniz and James Loring. He is preceded in death by his brothers Wayne Moniz, Barry Moniz and Ronnie Moniz and his sister Lynne Moniz. He is also survived by his loving nieces and nephews.
To know Mickey was to know a man with a big heart and an open spirit. He loved his family deeply, was a man of faith, and a true friend to many. He found joy and freedom on the open road with his motorcycle, where he could clear his mind and take in the beauty around him. His church community was an important part of his life, and he was always quick to step up when someone needed help or encouragement. Known for his generous heart, easy smile, and always being ready to lend a hand to anyone in need, he touched countless lives through simple acts of kindness. His love and kindness will be remembered by all who were blessed to know him.
