June 21, 1947 – October 7, 2025
Michael Anthony Turner, born on June 21, 1947, in Sacramento, California, passed away peacefully on October 7, 2025, at the age of 78.
Michael lived a full and adventurous life. He enjoyed time with family, friends, and the many joys he cherished. He especially loved holiday and family gatherings, where his warmth, quick wit, and generous spirit always made others feel welcome. He found joy in the sunshine outdoors, spending summers at the lake, and treasured his annual trips to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk-one of his favorite traditions.
He dedicated many years of his life working as a skilled electrician for Southern Pacific Railroad, taking pride in his craft and the relationships he built along the way.
Michael is survived by his loving daughters and grandchildren, his devoted siblings, many nieces and nephews, and his beloved dog, who was never far from his side. His presence was a gift to all who knew him-his conversation, laughter, kind heart, and strong sense of family will be dearly missed and fondly remembered by all.
