Obituary For Michael Oscar Sciacqua

Michael Oscar "Squatch" Sciacqua, 74, passed away peacefully, leaving behind a family who loved him deeply and a life rich with simple joys and steady devotion.

Born on August 28, 1951, in Tacoma, Washington, Michael spent his life rooted in the Pacific Northwest, where he built lasting relationships and memories that will be cherished by those who knew him. He is survived by his beloved wife, Sharon Sciacqua; his sister, Nancy Danko; his children and his treasured grandchildren, who brought him immense pride and happiness.

Michael had a passion for pursuits that blended focus, patience, and enjoyment. He was an avid bowler and golfer, always appreciating both the challenge of the game and the camaraderie that came with it. He was also an exceptional self-taught chef, known for his ability to create memorable meals and bring people together around the table through his love of cooking.

Above all, Michael will be remembered for his steady presence, his quiet talents, and the love he shared with his family and friends.

Services will be held on February 3rd at 10:00 a.m. at Mountain View Cemetery in Auburn, Washington. Family and friends are invited to gather to honor and celebrate his life.

Michael will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.
