Michael Rachal Obituary
Michael Rachal,69 of Detroit Michigan, passed away on Friday, December 27,1955. He was the son of the late Frank F Rachal Sr. and Mary L. (LaCour) Rachal.
He was a passionate sports fan, Mike dedicated his loyalty to the University of Michigan and enjoyed all sports, particularly football, basketball, and boxing. He had a daily routine of playing the lottery, and often spotted at the casino. On Sunday’s mornings, he was a devoted attendee at church, where he expressed his love for his Catholic faith.
Known for his compassion Michael always showed sympathy towards others and was eager to help in anyway he could. Michael infectious laughter and playful spirit made him a beloved jokester and prankster, ensuring all around him would be filled with joy and laughter. He will be especially missed for superbly made “Dirty Rice,” a favorite Creole dish. And for keeping in touch with family and friends in his role as the Facebook King!
He leaves behind to cherish his memories a host of family and friends.
