Michael Carlos Perez, born on November 9, 1977, in Tucson, AZ, bid farewell to this world on August 3, 2024. An individual known for his diverse career in car sales, Michael's life was a tapestry woven with passion.
During his time on this earth, Michael created cherished memories that will live on in the hearts of those who knew him. He found joy in simple pleasures, particularly relishing weekend BBQ gatherings and indulging in his numerous hobbies such as quad riding, target shooting, and outdoor adventures.
Described by those closest to him as someone with a massive heart, Michael was an individual who radiated love and kindness towards everyone he encountered. His fondness for children was evident, and his love for music illuminated his spirit.
Among his proudest accomplishments was his unwavering commitment to his family. Michael was a pillar of support and comfort, always ready to lend a helping hand to his loved ones. His legacy of generosity and compassion will endure as a testament to the remarkable man he was.
Michael leaves behind a profound void in the lives of his surviving family members. He is survived by his beloved girlfriend, Vanessa Landeros, his children Carlos and Alicia Perez, his mother Monica Perez, his brothers Nicholas Perez and Santino Antone Perez, his sisters Serina Lizarraga and Jessica Wahl; his grandchildren Adonis Perez and Adavin Perez; his nephews, Elijah Perez and Nicholas Perez Jr.; his niece, Alyssa Perez, and a host of uncles, aunts, cousins, and friends, including BJ Robinson and Carlos Mills. He is preceded in death by his father, Mark Wahl and grandparents; Carlos and Adelina Lopez.
