Michael Padova Obituary
Newport, NH: Michael G. "Big Mike" Padova, passed away on February 16, 2024.
Big Mike was born in England on April 4, 1960 to his parents Annie Evans-Padova and Girolamo Jerry Padova.
He is survived by his son, his pride and joy, Michael K. Padova, also by his former daughter-in-law Anastasia Kendall and their son Michael K. Padova, Jr., his godson Steven Labrie, his brother Maurice P. Padova in Massachusetts, and half brother Lee in England.
Big Mike spent most of his life in Newport, NH, where he lived fast and enjoyed a very fun-filled life of motorcycles, good friends, fast cars, and beautiful women. He was so well known for his unstoppable drive for building and sustaining his business, Big Mike's Cleaning & Maintenance, where he helped anyone who needed to get back on their feet with a job while teaching them everything he knew about the industry.
Anyone who was a friend of Big Mike was considered family by him. He was known for his huge heart and willingness to always help anyone in need. He was a hot rod who lived a fast life, enjoying every minute of it.
Calling hours for Big Mike will be held on Saturday March 2, 2024 from 2 - 4 PM at Newton-Bartlett Funeral Home, 42 Main Street, Newport, NH.
A celebration of life will be held this spring, where all who knew Big Mike are welcome.

My condolences to Mike's family.
I met Mike shortly after he purchased the farmhouse on Reed's Farm Road.
You see,I myself have decades of history with the farmhouse and the farm itself when it was a farm. I am of the Reed family that built this farm and the old sawmills on Reeds Mill Road that Reed's Farm Road stems off of. The farm dates back to 1840 where the Reeds took root here.
Sharing this story with Mike that day and visit is how we became aquatinted and friends. He welcomed me with a good handshake any given time that I would visit. I would tease him by saying someday maybe I will own the farm.
Anyways this is how I know Mike. A good man and a brother biker such as myself.
God rest his soul! Ride free Mike. Again my thoughts and prayers to his family he left behind.
