Michael J. Waddington was born November 4, 1965. Michael did tattoos for over 20 years and owned his own business Skin Deep Ink Tattoo. He loved spending time with family and friends. He loved to go fishing with his son Noah. Listening to music and just laughing and having a good time with the ones he loved. Michael was always a phone call away when anyone needed him. He was the definition of a best friend, and a wonderful dad. He is survived by his daughter Jocelyn Toste, son Noah Waddington, and common law wife Melissa Krantz. Michael passed away on December 9th, 2024 in Hanford, California.
