Michael Eliot Seida was born on May 13, 2002 in Tucson, Arizona to his parents Patricia (McCarthy) Bredenkamp and Bruce Seida. He attended Roadrunner Elementary School in Marana, Arizona, then Lulu Walker Elementary School, La Cima Middle School and Mountain Rose Academy in Tucson, Arizona. As a child, he was energetic and goofy, loved riding bicycles and dirt bikes, playing video games and hanging out with his cat Trixie. As an adult, he worked mainly in construction, landscaping and in Amazon's distributing warehouses. He most enjoyed driving his Hyundai Genesis ("Genny") and boating on Arizona's lakes with his family. He passed on his favorite holiday July 4, 2025. Michael is survived by his mother Patricia, stepfather Seth, sister Ana, nephew Malachi, father Bruce, stepmother Melissa, and brothers Christian and Andrew. He is greatly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him. We pray he is finally at peace.

This hurts, I've known Michael since I was in 3rd grade. We lived in the same neighborhood and would always ride BMX bikes at Flowing Wells Park and he became a brother to me and my older brothers. (all close in age) I am so saddened to hear of his passing I catch myself constantly reminiscing about hanging out EVERYDAY when we were kids and I wouldn't change a thing. I'm glad me and my brothers got the privellage to share so many memories with you Mikey thank you for always making me & Preston laugh.... I have a feeling I'll see you again real soon..

Michael was the life of the party and never made anyone feel less then or like they didn´t belong. He and I would talk late at night about life and cars and living life to the fullest and cherishing memories. We drifted after some time of growing and getting new jobs. We never stopped talking he would post his car broken I would send him what he should get or what to do and he always did the same for me I will never work on my car without thinking of him. One day I will do the engine swap we always talked about. I love you Michael I hope your at peace and I will see you again one day

Michael was a great friend to those around him. I personally was good friends with him and he always brought a smile to everyone´s face. All the times we met up with friends for car meets, swimming, bonfires, he was always the life of the party. It saddens me very much that this has happened.. it does not feel real. He was and still is loved by those around him. I pray he is at peace and his kind, adventurous spirit lives on

I loved Michael deeply more than words could ever fully explain. What we shared wasn´t perfect, but it was real, and it meant everything to me. He had this way of making me feel safe, seen, and understood, even in silence. Being around him felt like home, and losing him still doesn´t feel real.

Love like that doesn´t fade. It stays, tucked in the quiet corners of my heart, showing up in memories, in music, in random moments I wish I could share with him. I miss him more than I can ever say, but I´m grateful I got to love him while he was here. That kind of love, that kind of person never truly leaves.

Rest easy, Michael. You´re still so loved.
